I am doing a paper on abortion and I read that abortion is the only surgery in which the surgeon is not obligated to tell the person the risks of the procedure, or the exact nature of it. Is that true???

Any doctor of any worth will explain the potential risks of any procedure to his/her patient.
If they don't, find another doctor immediately. There is no such thing as a risk free procedure, no matter how minor the procedure or how skilled the surgeon.

Surgeons have to tell patients the risks of any surgery. Although a big deal to a lot of people, to a surgeon an abortion is just another surgery, with the same rules and regulations.

A surgeon is obligated by law (at least in the USA) to tell the patient all possible problems that could occure.

I think the doctor is obliged to tell everything. What stake here is a life of another person. The question here is, why do they conceal such thing that has a risk to life?

You have your facts all wrong. Any physical procedure the doctor tells his patients the risks.

I think your sources are absolutely wrong. Which periodical or book says that?
The genuine sources to ask this type of information is the medical association in your country.

They have to disclose that which can go wrong so the patient can make an informed decision

If you want some good literature on your paper, contact your local right to life office, usually located at your local Catholic Church, they will have some good resources for you to use.
