Medical negligence in urology: an untapped database.

INTRODUCTION
The aim of this study was to identify the causes of urological litigation in the NHS and to make recommendations how to reduce the burden of litigation to both injured patients and urologists.


METHODS
Under the Freedom of Information Act, the National Health Service Resolution (NHSR) was asked to provide the figures for the number of cases of litigation in urology reported between 2010 and 2020.


RESULTS
The number of urological claims more than doubled between 2011 and 2020. Many of the claims that are made result from avoidable errors.


CONCLUSION
More education is needed, of both urologists in training and consultant urologists, on the causes of errors that lead to litigation and how many of them can be avoided.
