Abstract

Background : Today the number of cases of allegations of negligence is increasing and already it has become a great problem, especially for surgeons, anesthetists, obstetricians, and gynecologists. Objectives : The present study is an attempt to discover through autopsy what are the basic drawbacks in the service of healthcare which leads to allegations against medical practitioners. Methodology : The study included 72 cases with an allegation of medical negligence cases reported for expert opinion to the tertiary care center. Results : The present study revealed that the surgical, allied & related cases (48) faced more allegations than the medicinal, allied & related cases (21). Autopsies were conducted further in 24 cases out of the 32 surgical deaths which were more as compared to medicinal deaths undergone autopsies (10 out of 16). Conclusions : Of the 72 cases studied, there is a preponderance of allegations related to negligence in the surgery performed (23.61%), which was followed by allegations related to failure to diagnose/ wrong treatment (20.83%).
