Educational Informed Consent Video in Neurosurgery

Individualized procedure-specific educational video. Videos are developed by a multidisciplinary collaboration of neurosurgeons, medical educators, and patient advocates. Each video is tailored based on location of the pathology, surgical approach, positioning, anticoagulation intake, and intraoperative adjuncts such as electrophysiology. Each video followes a standardized format covering anatomical considerations, preoperative care, the surgical procedure, and postoperative care including potential complications, expected recovery process, and post-surgery instructions.

Standard informed consent, consisting of an in-person verbal consultation with the responsible neurosurgeon supplemented by written documentation and cranial models when applicable
