Directs the department of health to create an informational pamphlet regarding the laparoscopic power morcellation surgery technique
This bill directs the state Department of Health to create an informational pamphlet for patients considering laparoscopic power morcellation surgery. The document must explain the procedure, its risks and benefits, and include specific details on cancer screening, privacy protections, and the potential for spreading undetected cancer cells. It requires the pamphlet to be written in plain language and made available in English and the six most common non-English languages spoken in New York. Healthcare providers will be able to distribute this material to patients before performing the surgery, and the resource will be posted on the department's website.
