Abstract

This study aimed at identifying how patients submitted to partial or total laryngectomy understand the information on the surgical procedure. Authors used the technique of semi-structured interview through open questions with patients admitted at a government hospital characterized by the development of activities centered on the care, teaching and research. Based on the identified five thematic categories, authors concluded that the respect for patient's autonomy is not being correctly performed by the medical and nursing team, as information are being processed in an inadequate way and they are not considering patients' individuality in some cases.

The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
