An improved informed consent system and method is disclosed. The system comprises a visual component, an auditory component, and a textual component. The visual component consists of a visual representation of the surgery, preferably in three-dimensional form. The auditory component consists of a narration integral with the visual component that explains the visual representation of the surgery. The textual component consists of a summary of each complication associated with the surgery. The system includes an input mechanism for inputting an acknowledgment of each complication, as well as each complication encountered by the patient during the surgery, and a storage mechanism for electronically storing the patient's acknowledgment of each complication. The visual, auditory, and textual components are preferably integrally combined to form a single informed consent system.
