Clinical guidelines: a sword or a shield in clinical negligence litigation?

It is not our intention to discuss the very wide range of guidelines that are applicable to urological practice, e.g. those published by the European Association of Urology (EAU) or the AUA, other than to state that any urologist should have some working knowledge of those guidelines that pertain to his or her general and subspecialist interests. We discuss some of the ‘general’ guidelines that all hospital specialists should be aware of, as they cover the generality of surgical practice.
