Responsabilidade penal por erro médico em cirurgias plásticas.

Abstract

The present work focuses on criminal liability for medical errors, committed through fault, in plastic surgery procedures and the consequent criminalization of the professional. Its general objective is to analyze the criminal liability of professionals who commit a medical error, in a negligent manner, in plastic surgery. Furthermore, its specific objectives are to analyze the historical aspects of Medicine, the importance of medical activity and the doctor-patient relationship; analyze which types of medical error occur in plastic surgeries and their relevance and the psychological consequences caused to the patient; point out the criminal liability of doctors who perform plastic surgeries with culpable behavior (recklessness, malpractice and negligence). In these terms, the problem to be faced consists of knowing what criminal liability is given to the plastic surgeon in the face of possible medical errors that occurred in plastic surgery. We know the importance of studying the topic, since Medicine is an essential area for maintaining the life and health of society, and should not act against these principles. Furthermore, this research seeks to bring reflections on the possible responsibilities given to doctors who injured the life or physical integrity of a human person in aesthetic plastic surgeries. To carry out the investigation in this work, which is bibliographic in nature, the approach method adopted in its development was deductive. As a method of procedure, we worked with historical-criticism, which seeks to give a localized treatment in time to the subject matter of the study. In terms of research technique, indirect documentation was used, with consultation of bibliography of primary and secondary sources.
