DEFENDANTS DID NOT DEMONSTRATE SURGICAL CONSENT FORM COMPLIED WITH THE ACCEPTED STANDARD OF DISCLOSURE, SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED.

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendants did not submit sufficient evidence to warrant dismissal of the “lack of informed consent” cause of action. Plaintiff alleged the breast implants she received were not of the type and size she requested . The proof submitted by the defendants did not demonstrate the consent form at issued complied with the standard for disclosure in this context:

Although the defendants demonstrated that they cannot be held liable for lack of informed consent based upon the size of the implants used, the defendants failed to establish that they cannot be held liable for lack of informed consent based on the type of implants used. The consent forms signed by the plaintiff stated that she would be receiving “gel” implants, but did not identify the particular brand or manufacturer of the implants. Although the defendants’ expert averred that the operative report indicated that “Palaia explained the risks, benefits and alternatives to [the plaintiff] prior to the procedure,” and noted that consent forms were signed, he failed to aver that “the consent form complied with the prevailing standard for such disclosures applicable to reasonable practitioners performing the same kind of surgery” … . Whitnum v Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, P.C., 2016 NY Slip Op 05710, 2nd Dept 8-3-16
