Objective: Building on existing literature, which has pointed out the acceptability of certain persuasive strategies used by specialists in clinical communication, the article aims to describe the forms and functions of argumentative discourse in clinical dialogues.
Methods: The article relies on classical definitions of argumentative discourse that describe argumentation as the communication process characterized by a standpoint and at least an expression of doubt, often also by the presence of arguments in favor or against the standpoint.
Results: Through examples from real-life cases, it is shown that besides the typical function of persuasion, argumentation in clinical dialogues may have also the function of finding agreement for the alignment of assessments and for deliberation.

In addition, studies suggest increased hospital and surgeon volume throughout surgery may lead to improved surgical outcomes.
