Mini-Abstract
A growing number of states have statutes regulating the performance of sensitive examinations on anesthetized patients. The scope of the examinations covered includes breast, pelvic, prostate, and rectal examinations, increasing the impact of these laws on surgeons. There is a broadening focus on obtaining consent for any provider and learner performing these examinations.
