Abstract
The branch of gynecology and obstetrics brings about various controversial clinical situations, which arise from specific features of the branch. The informed consent is an integral part of the diagnostic-therapeutic process and precondition of the correct (lege artis) procedure.
The adequate agreement with the therapy should be informed, free and competent. It prevents ethical crisis in conditions of an ethical conflict.
The paper defines the content and structure of the informed consent and draws attention to its technical prerequisites so as to fulfill the truthfulness and legal validity.
