Informed consent (IC) is one of the most influential concept in contemporary Bioethics, we should faithfully tell patient's condition, medical diagnosis, medical treatment, alternate treatment measures, health risks, and prognosis to patients in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease process, so patients and their families have a rational, voluntary choice to the doctor's treatment program. Operation informed consent usually refers to before surgery, the doctors to inform patients of the relevant circumstances to be operative by the patients or their affiliated persons to subscribe to the medical surgical instruments. It is an important legal instrument between doctor and patient, It is also an important medical document and an important basis for proof of medical litigation .It plays a certain role in the coordination of physician-patient relationship and the maintenance of normal working order of the hospital. Informed consent is a fundamental right in the process of patient diagnosis and treatment of disease, It is also the obligations of each medical practitioners given by The People's Republic of China Medical Practitioners Act. "Medical Organization Management Regulations," Article 33: It is necessary to obtain the patient and the person's family or relationship consent in the implementation of surgery, a special examination or special treatment by Medical institutions. Informed consent signed is actually a written form to exercise the right.It will be necessary to obtain informed consent of patients and their families before surgery. Informed consent is based on an informed basis, because medicine is a highly specialized subject, the vast majority of patients lack medical knowledge, In practical work,we should let patients obtain a real and effective informed consent as much as possible. Writing signed consent is a form of expression, not simply to get a signature, in fact it is the basis of adequate communication between the doctors and patients. a variety of pros and cons of different treatment programs, as well as information regarding prognosis followed by the diagnosis and treatment programs are given by doctors , in order that patients and their families have a realistic expectation of the right course of treatment of complications. With the progress of society ,the people have greater awareness on personal health and life of medical issues, patients want to understand their illness and treatment, and to make a free choice and decisions . Only a valid informed consent, patients will take a positive attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Today, governments around the world, health organizations and the general public are increasingly concerned about health care level and service quality improvement . At present many of our hospitals are adopting a standard applicable to full capacity of adult operation informed consent, so that the consent process wil be more orderly, more patient-centered. However, there are many patients do not fully understand them ,they do not recognize operation informed consent is to protect the fundamental role of the patient's own interests. With the improvement of medical standards, the patient gradually increase the legal awareness. In order to achieve patient harmony, to protect health care work in both medical personnel, to lift the patient's suffering, we will analyze preoperative operation consent form signed in order to draw conclusions for the future work of medical staff to provide a correct basis.Objective: to understand the informed consent of surgical patients with the status, role, as well as the understanding of operation informed consent form, identify deficiencies to provide the necessary basis for improvement.
