How we edit.
Medical-knowledge articles are written by specialist surgeons and reviewed internally before publication. We do not use AI-generated content for clinical material, and we do not accept sponsored content from suppliers of medical materials or devices.
Patient stories are published only after the patient signs a separate written consent for editorial use — distinct from the consent to surgery. Patients may withdraw this consent at any time and the content will be removed promptly.
