PART I
Foundations of Surgical Counseling, Consent, and Enhanced Recovery
Chapters 1 to 3
Every procedure chapter in this book rests on three skills: running a consultation that ends in genuine, informed consent; explaining enhanced recovery so that the patient becomes an active partner; and supporting spoken advice with clear printed and digital information. Part I teaches these skills once, so that the later chapters can apply them without repeating them.
