A cirurgia prosseguiu sem consentimento impróprio do paciente que não foi totalmente informado dos riscos.
This is primarily a legal and medical terminology used in both American and Brazilian legal systems. In Brazil, it appears frequently in civil law contexts, contracts, and medical law. The concept reflects the principle that true consent must be free, informed, and voluntary—a cornerstone of modern contract law and medical ethics in both countries.
