ABSTRACT
To be successful, modern medical acts require the participation ofseveral professionals and assistants and, as such, there has been a steady trend from individual medicine to the collective practice of the profession. This format raises issues in determining when a medical professional or other practitioner is liable for the acts of a colleague. This thesis proposes to resolve the problems involved in the collective practice of medicine by restricting liability to a physician responsible for another practitioner, only to those cases where he/she has been willingly introduced into the medical act.

Ante la divergente solución doctrinaria y jurisprudencial existente sobre la extensión de la resposabilidad civil a los integrantes de un equipo quirúrgico, puede afirmarse con base en fundamentos médicos y jurídicos que en caso de participación y culpa acreditada de profesionales con autonomía científica y técnica (como anestesistas, cardiólogos, hemoterapeutas, etc.) tal resposabilidad no puede ser extendida colectiva y solidariamente a todo el equipo quirúrgico y a su jefe, sino que debe ser juzgada con carácter individual
