Abstract

Although the judiciary has developed a number of precedents related to the development of medical care, most of them are problems in individual cases. But medical accidents continuely repeated despite the medical community's response or efforts. Whether these problems can be solved by preventing individual negligence in individual cases, or whether there is a structural problem as a cause of medical accidents. There are also some hidden causes. For example, the emphasis on the economics of medical care, the rationalization of hospital management and the tendency to commercialize medical practice due to low medical fees, and the lack of medical personnel and resources is also a structural problem. It is also necessary to examine whether the high frequency of new medical practices that are profitable behind medical accidents may lead to excessive diagnostic requirements and surgeries. This study provides a follow-up on the current state of practice and trends of medical liability and categorizes the new jurisprudence and various major issues in recent medical malpractice cases. In particular, it focuses on the cases of the Korean Supreme Court in 2021. And it also compiles special cases in the field of urology by types to derive implications for the latest trends in medical liability. In conclusion, new trends and implications of the case law are discussed.
