내시경 시술에 관한 판례의 분석과 법적 고찰

Abstract

Endoscopic examinations and procedures are widely used to identify and treat digestive-oriented diseases, and are also essential items for the national cancer screening project, making it a familiar and frequently used medical area for the public and patients, and it is a very frequent medical area.
 Endoscopy and treatment play a key role in the prevention and treatment of diseases such as cancer. On the other hand, endoscopy and procedures, which are responsible for preventing and treating diseases, are invasive medical practices, and the risk of adverse consequences such as death and severe disability remains as surgical surgery, but public understanding and awareness may appear differently. In this regard, it is true that medical and legal reviews and approaches have been made to prevent medical accidents related to endoscopic procedures and reduce damage. However, previous studies have focused on considering some cases or cases, and despite their significance, systematic and analytical studies on endoscopic procedures have not been sufficiently conducted, and policy implications from an integrated legal and medical perspective have not been sufficiently derived.
 While the general standards and standards of medical practice such as endoscopic procedures are standard, the individual circumstances of the people and patients who are treated are different and difficult to unify. In addition to these individual characteristics of medical behavior, considering the essential characteristics of medical care such as invasion, risk, difficulty in predicting results, and irreversibility, we will derive empirical implications for preventing medical accidents through a specific and comprehensive view of precedents in medical civil litigation for endoscopy.
 Therefore, this paper examines major issues and results of various civil cases related to endoscopy procedures in various ways, and suggests measures to prevent medical accidents and guarantee patients' treatment options to improve national health and reduce disputes.
