Abstract
La Obstetricia y Ginecología juegan un papel prominente en lo referente al número de reclamaciones judiciales. El sistema judicial español tiene un orden jerárquico, estructurado en diferentes niveles del más alto al más bajo. Lo normal es que la acción legal empiece en los juzgados de primera instancia; las apelaciones y las casaciones pueden llegar a lo más alto en la escala judicial. Estudiamos las sentencias judiciales emitidas en casos iniciados contra ginecólogos en España, pero solo hemos recogido aquellos que alcanzan los niveles superiores, intentando descartar aquellos que no progresan en la escala judicial. Porque muchos de estos casos comienzan en la más económica y corta vía penal, pero pocos concluyen en ella, y 11 se dirigen a la más costosa y prolongada vía civil, es por lo que hemos separado el estudio de las sentencias en la vía penal y civil, y también por su diferente significado para el profesional objeto de la acción judicial, pues pueden conducir a penas económicas, de cárcel e inhabilitación. En ambas vías, la penal y la civil, las indemnizaciones económicas ocupan un papel importante en la Obstetricia y Ginecología. Pero el número de caso que terminan en la vía penal es muy escaso para el largo periodo estudiado, 1987 – 2013, razón por la cual hemos analizado la vía civil con especial interés en las compensaciones económicas y en cómo han evolucionado...
Obstetrics and Gynaecology play a prominent role in the number of lawsuits in Spain and worldwide. The reason of this is that we promote a restricted Spanish study. The Spanish Court system is hierarchical with different levels structured from the highest to the lowest level. Typically the legal action begins in the Court of First Instance; appeals and counter-appeals go to higher courts. We study the court sentences issued in cases against gynaecologists in Spain, but just we take those that reach the highest levels, trying to screen out those not progressing on legal system. It is because we assume there are of the most interest. As long as many of the cases start in the economical and sorter criminal court, few of them go on and conclude in it, changing to the costly and lengthy civil court, we take apart penal and civil court sentences, and because their different meaning and their consequences on the sued doctors. Criminal court claims against gynaecologists in the Spanish court system are a rare occurrence (less than 3%). These can lead to financial penalties, imprisonment and disqualification. Our aim is to study the court sentences issued in such cases, as these involve the most serious convictions, and to obtain a profile of those convicted. In both criminal and civil courts sentences, malpractice payouts occupy an important place in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. But as there are so few criminal court cases it is because we analysed a long period (1987 - 2013) of civil court sentences focusing on compensation amount and the way compensation has changed...
