AB  - The  primary  duty  of  the  pediatric  surgeon  as  healer  is  one  of  promoting  good  and  acting  with  beneficence,  while  keeping  the  patient  at  the  center  of  all  decisions.The  pediatric  surgical  informed  consent  process  includes  the  elements  of  providing  information  that  includes  risks,  benefits,  outcomes,  and  alternate  therapies;  assessment  of  the  ability  of  patient/guardian  to  make  decisions;  and  the  ability  of  the  patient/guardian  to  make  decisions  free  of  coercion.A  clinical  team's  common  moral  framework  is  essential  to  address  concerns  of  ethical  conflict.The  pediatric  surgeon  has  the  responsibility  to  inform  patients  and  families  about  medical  error  and  adverse  events.  Failure  to  do  so  is  a  breach  of  professional  and  ethical  norms.When  innovating  a  new  operative  therapy,  the  early  development  of  a  formalized  research  protocol  will  help  to  define  risks,  benefits,  and  outcomes.  The  informed  consent  process  for  innovative  procedures  needs  to  be  done  to  a  higher  standard.
