RJ tem de indenizar por não informar sobre vasectomia
O descumprimento do dever de informar o paciente sobre o risco de insucesso de uma cirurgia gera dano moral. Com esse entendimento, a 1ª Câmara Cível do Tribunal de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro reformou sentença e condenou o estado do Rio a indenizar em R$ 20 mil um homem que engravidou a esposa depois de ter feito cirurgia de vasectomia em um hospital público. O colegiado determinou, ainda, o pagamento de pensão mensal de um salário mínimo até que a menor, nascida após a cirurgia, complete a maioridade civil.
Em outubro de 2007, o autor se submeteu à cirurgia de esterilização. Desde então, seguiu todas as orientações médicas, submetendo-se a dois testes de espermograma. Tanto o primeiro, em janeiro de 2008, como o segundo, em maio, constataram a ausência de espermatozoides. Em abril, no entanto, sua esposa descobriu estar grávida há um mês.
Em seu pedido de indenização, o autor alegou que não foi informado sobre a possibilidade de reversão dos efeitos da cirurgia, o que, aliás, é raro, só ocorrendo em cerca de 1% dos casos.

Afirma, ainda, que o autor teria sido informado e orientado sobre o fato de a vasectomia não ser 100% eficaz, podendo, em alguns casos, reverter-se espontaneamente.
A relatora do acórdão, desembargadora Lucia Helena do Passo, salientou que a chance de reversão espontânea torna impossível assegurar que o caso em questão seja de erro médico. Segundo ela, o estado do Rio deveria ter apresentado nos autos o conteúdo programático da palestra assistida pelo autor da ação, antes da cirurgia. “É evidente a falha do serviço público consubstanciada pelo...
