INVESTIGATION OF DEATH AFTER VIDEO-ASSISTED THORACOPIC SURGERY IN TERMS OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE: AN AUTOPSY CASE REPORT

Talip VuralMelike ErbaşHüseyin Çetin KetenciMehmet Askay

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is considered a safe method and is commonly performed in recent years. However, as with other invasive medical procedures, some complications may be encountered during and after this procedure. Of late, medical malpractice cases have become a prominent issue in the healthcare field. The case under discussion was sent to us for autopsy because of an allegation of medical malpractice. The cause of death was claimed to be an invasive procedure, namely pulmonary wedge resection with level 5 lymph node biopsy and VATS. We contribute to the literature by sharing, discussing, and evaluating our autopsy findings with forensic and medical documents. The possible complications of the procedure in question are generally known to be rare, nonfatal, minor traumas.

Talip VuralMelike ErbaşHüseyin Çetin KetenciMehmet Askay

Video yardımlı torakoskopik cerrahi (VATS) son yıllarda sıklıkla kullanılmakta olan güvenli bir yöntem olarak kabul edilmektedir. Ancak diğer invaziv tıbbi işlemlerde olduğu gibi bu işlem sonrasında ve sırasında da bazı komplikasyonlarla karşılaşılabilir. Tıbbi uygulama hatası davaları son yıllarda sağlık alanında öne çıkan konulardan biri haline geldi. Olgumuz tıbbi uygulama hatası iddiası nedeniyle otopsi için tarafımıza gönderilmişti. Ölüm nedeninin Seviye 5 lenf bezi biyopsisi ve VATS ile pulmoner kama rezeksiyonu gibi invaziv bir prosedür olduğu iddia ediliyordu. Otopsi bulgularını adli ve tıbbi belgelerle birlikte paylaşarak, tartışarak ve değerlendirerek literatüre katkıda bulunmayı amaçladık. Zira söz konusu işlemin olası komplikasyonları genellikle nadir görülen, ölümcül olmayan küçük travmalar olduğu bilinmektedir.
