[Informed consent in aesthetic plastic surgery].

The informed consent plays a very decisive part in aesthetic plastic surgery. As there is often no medical indication in plastic surgery, the patient has to be informed about all the facts of an operation, especially about the possible risks. The legal requests for therapeutic and economic clarification gain in importance. The jurisdiction in Germany demands a merciless clarification for the patient. The patient needs to be clarified about all facts early enough so that he has a sufficient amount of time to weigh-up the pros und cons of the operation and if necessary to take advice from someone else. The sufficient documentation is very important at the sight of the extensive burden of proof at the expense of the physician.

[Caution in foregoing patient education].

A key part of the individual patient rights is the renunciation of explicit information on a planned surgical procedure. However, jurisdiction has assigned strict requirements for the validity of such a denial. To ensure legal validity of the denial, the surgeon has to obtain informed consent signed by the patient stating that the patient rejected detailed medical information, but did understand the nature of the planned procedure. The initiative to receive just limited medical information must be taken by the patient himself, not the surgeon. Thus, the patient may choose to receive either detailed or limited information on the surgical procedure. Important to know: A limited time schedule of the surgeon is not a valid justification for a limited informed consent.

[Critique of continuing medical education from the viewpoint of participants. Results of an evaluation of didactic seminars of the Academy of Continuing and Graduate Medical Education of the Hessen Federal Association].

In cooperation with the chair of academy of vocational training and educational planning of the University of Technology Darmstadt the academy planned and realized a systematic evaluation concerning participants's opinion and criticism. A half-standardized questionnaire was developed, tested and applied according to the rules and recommendations of the German medical association. Between 9/94 and 11/98, feedback from 121 of the academy's seminars was received. Most seminars were judged positively in view of clarity and stimulation of thoughts while there was considerably less praise for the contribution of self-information and the possibilities of communicating and interacting. With regard to the lecture's practical relevance most seminars were judged positively. Media design and management was considered insufficient by most of the participants, as were time management and pre-information. The idea of examining the effect of learning was rejected by most of the students: Better media were desired, as were more case studies and literature references.
