Arbitration procedures of medical liability disputes can in particular cases resolve the individual conflict between physician and patient. The results of these arbitration procedures can point towards the main focus of diagnosis, patient accusations (patient dissatisfaction) and treatment errors. In the space of 6 years from 2000 until 2005 the North-German arbitration office handled 157 arbitration procedures against Maxillofacial surgeons. The decisions were statistically and casuistically analysed with regard to patient accusations, type of treatment error, frequency of treatment error, health damages that were caused and not caused by errors. Liability claims against a physician result only from those errors that have caused health damages to a patient. Not all errors cause damage automatically. Patient claims were found to be justified in 28% of all procedures and a recommendation for regulation was made to the physician's insurance. Maxillofacial surgery, with reference to the 20.4% of cases analysed, clearly represents less than the total average. The main focus of accusations raised by patients and also the main focus of the observed treatment errors are operative errors as a cause of sensitivity defects of the lower lip and the tongue, also of tongue damages and their associated taste defects.
