本件病人因右髖骨退化性關節炎及軟骨嚴重磨損而接受人工髖關節置換手術,醫師手術過程中使用鋼釘、鋼針固定骨頭,嗣後病人因鋼針斷裂、移位而受有損害。病人主張醫師於術前未告知系爭手術會使用鋼釘或鋼針,違反告知義務,經法院判決認為醫師雖違反告知義務,然侵害病人自主權之情節並非重大,駁回病人之請求。本文擬針對判決中對於告知義務的範圍、判斷標準、履行方式及違反效果之論述進行評析。
Due to the osteoarthritis on the right side and chondral serious injury, the patient had taken a total hip replacement. During the surgery, the physician used nails and needles to fix bones but the patient was injured because the needles had broken and displaced. The patient argued that the physician didn inform that nails and needles would be used during the surgery and therefore broke the obligation to disclose. The court held that the right of patient autonomy didn injure seriously even though the physician had broken the obligation to disclose, and rejected the patient claim. This essay would try to analyze the range of the obligation to disclose, the criteria and way to fulfill as well as the effect when breaking.
