In the modern era, along with development of individual rights, it becomes more and more obvious that the responsibility level of the patient should not be undervalued in connection with the failure of the therapeutically act . Therefore medico-legal expertise involving technical difficulties must be standardized according to the last generation or even to experimental surgical techniques cases.
