Thinking like a lawyer — human rights and their association with the plastic surgeon of today
(2023)
Plastic surgeons are trained to perform a wide repertoire of surgeries—ranging from standard local procedures to highly specialized operations. Therefore, plastic surgeons treat a plethora of clinical presentations and address multiple patient needs. Their daily workflow is increasingly entwined with legal topics. The concrete legal interpretation falls within the remit of legal experts.

The legal situation is to be elucidated based on the German Basic Law (GBL) and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
