Il danno da lesione del rapporto parentale come danno evento esistenziale
2022
Il saggio propone una riflessione su quelle che appaiono come le nuove frontiere della discussa categoria del danno esistenziale che, seppure formalmente abbandonata, continua, secondo l’autore, a riconoscersi dietro la diversa etichetta del « danno dinamico relazionale ». Muovendo dalla figura del danno da lesione del rapporto parentale, quale ipotesi paradigmatica di danno esistenziale, l’autore propone una rilettura dell’intera categoria del danno esistenziale come danno evento. Questa interpretazione, secondo l’autore, è in grado di rispondere a molti degli interrogativi che le nuove figure emergenti dal dibattito giurisprudenziale sollevano. In questa prospettiva la ricostruzione del d…
Fire in operating room: The adverse "never" event. Case report, mini-review and medico-legal considerations.
2020
Abstract The patient’s security and safety represent a topic of great importance for public health that led several healthcare organizations in many Countries to share documents to promote risk management and preventing adverse events. Surgical Fire (SF) is an infrequent adverse event generally occurring in the operating room (OR) and consisting of a fire that occurs in, on, or around a patient undergoing a medical or surgical procedure. Here a medico-legal case involving a 65-year-old woman reporting burns to the neck due to an SF during a thyroidectomy was described. A literature review was performed using Pubmed and Scopus databases, focusing on epidemiology, causes, prevention activitie…
Legal liability in bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw
2014
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is an adverse reaction that may occur in patients administered with bisphosphonates (BP). This condition can cause high morbidity and hinder quality of life. Its treatment is complex and often unsatisfactory, and prevention strategies may have limited effectiveness, if any. Thus, managing patients treated with BP may result in exposure of the practitioner to legal liability or malpractice claims: legal actions pursuant to BRONJ are reported to be underway on three continents. Nonetheless, the attribution of liability, if any, is a complex process requiring, on the basis of current knowledge, a robust and pragmatic approach to the facts…
Professional liability in oral surgery : legal and medical study of 63 court sentences
2010
Objectives: Dentistry, like all other health care professions, has in recent years been subjected to an increase in legal pressure by patients. Nevertheless, there are areas of activity in dentistry in which, whether because of their frequency or due to the importance of the damage and sequelae claimed, this legal pressure is greater. Amongst these areas of activity is that of oral surgery. Study design: To be meticulously analyzed in this report are 63 sentences issued by courts of second instance or higher levels regarding lawsuits involving oral surgery. The data collection file includes 13 variables. The descriptive and comparative statistical study by cross-referencing certain variable…
Post-cesarean necrotizing fasciitis caused by surgical site infection
2017
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, but rapidly progressive, potentially life-threatening soft tissue infection, with an incidence of 0.15-0.55 cases per 100,000 population. the gynecological-obstetric literature describes cases of NF due to surgical site infection (SSi) after cesarean delivery. this article discusses issues in the medicolegal evaluation of NF and the importance of prophylactic procedures, risk management protocols, and prompt diagnosis of this condition. two cases of post-cesarean NF due to SSi are reported. in both cases the responsibility lay with the hospitals and the medical staff owing to failure to adopt adequate SSi prophylaxis and to establish a timely diagnosis …
Il nesso di causalita` materiale nella responsabilita` contrattuale e la ripartizione dell’onere della prova
2019
Il saggio prende le mosse da un orientamento della Suprema Corte, in corso di consolidamento, che ritiene il nesso di causalita` nella responsabilita` professionale del medico oggetto di prova distinta rispetto all’inadempimento o alla colpa, addossandone l’onere al creditore. In tal modo, le due specie della responsabilita` civile, contrattuale e aquiliana, non divergerebbero sul versante del requisito della causalita` ed e` questo un esito sistematico di cui si puo` fondatamente dubitare. A un esame approfondito, l’intero impianto dell’orientamento si rivela piuttosto fragile per una pluralita` di ragioni che pero` sono tutte riconducibili all’errore di fondo di trascurare le specificita`…
Contro l’uso della nullita ` parziale in chiave di conformazione del contratto
2020
.Il saggio analizza la tendenza giurisprudenziale a servirsi della nullita ` parziale ex art. 1419 c.c. per realizzare interventi sul contratto animati dall’obiettivo di ridefinirne il contenuto in funzione di riequilibrio dei relativi termini. Il caso piu ` eclatante registrato di recente e ` rappresentato dalla sentenza a Sezioni unite del 2018 in materia di contratti di assicurazione della responsabilita ` civile con copertura claims made, nella quale si e ` assistito all’abbandono del grimaldello della meritevolezza degli interessi di cui all’art. 1322 c.c. a vantaggio di un uso altamente censurabile della categoria della causa del contratto che sfocia in una declaratoria di nullita ` p…
La responsabilità penale da derelizione di corpo estraneo in sito chirurgico
2011
The authors focus on the liability of the surgery team members in the case they inadvertently forget behind in the patient's body a foreign abject, which causes injuries and/or death. The authors underline that, according to the current case law regarding medical malproactice, both the main surgeon and their assistant/subordinate are liable for engaging in a markedly imprudent and/or negligent conduct, such as not double-checking scrupulously the surgical site before its closure in order to highlight forgotten foreign bodies. As well, the authors underline that either the circulator nurse or the theatre nurse can be considered punishable by law when that medical error occurs, even if they a…
