SPECIFICITY OF THE PLASTIC SURGEON'S COMMITMENT

Main Article Content

KHALOUI NACERA

Abstract

Medical interventions are restrained at base for the purpose of disease treatment and pain relief. However, plastic surgery is distinguished from other surgeries because of its accessory nature.  This particularity raises a dispute about determining the nature of the plastic surgeon’s obligation, as some scholars have argued that the surgeon’s liability is an obligation of result, and consequently the surgeon’s responsibility is engaged when the manoeuvre fails.  Contrarily, other researchers argue for maintaining the surgeon’s liability within the general framework of legal liability, that is, to due diligence obligation. Others researchers have argued that the surgeon’s liability is mixed, is an obligation of result and to due diligence obligation
