Abstract

Elective surgery for degenerative spinal conditions has a very high litigation rate [1]. The most common cause of litigation is informed consent and wrong level of surgery. This is also because the patients’ expectations did not match the outcome of surgery [2]. It is the saddest situation that arises in clinical care as there is no malice on the part of the surgeon who provides the care. However, the doctor-patient relationship is destroyed after such an event.
