ABSTRACT
Appropriate professional practice includes the diagnostic and treatment process of urologic pathology, as well as patient information and respect for patient autonomy in decision making. Informed consent is the gradual process of providing information to the patient and their subsequent decision making. The informed consent document (ICD), when required, demonstrates that information has been provided sufficiently in advance to allow for the patient's deliberation. The dual need for simple yet complete documents make the preparation of adequate ICDs extremely difficult. If the information process is not carried out properly, the professional may incur a medical malpractice liability that is treated as a loss of opportunity. To avoid such situations, the work of scientific societies in the preparation, accessibility, and dissemination of ICD models is fundamental.
