【 摘 要 】

Summary: The frequency of sexual assaults is rising by every passing day, in developed as well as non-developed countries. Many of the victims report to hospitals for possible surgery, due to related or non-related causes. The alien atmosphere of the operating rooms, the busy male and female staff, and the fear of being stripped during surgery are the main factors which need to be addressed with an empathic, if not a sympathetic attitude. Verbal contact being the most valuable tool. The authors have brought this important aspect of the clinical practice to limelight.
