The crime of manslaughter arising from gynecological surgical activities is a concept that has different meanings for doctors, patients and legal persons. As a result of death resulting from gynecological surgical activities, patient relatives go through a process of questioning whether death is inevitable and whether this situation is due to an error. It is not easy to explain the concept of complication here. The last point that a physician can achieve in favor of his patient is to manage the complication correctly. In terms of jurisprudence, death following a surgical operation is a crime that must be investigated ex officio. The criminal trial process is a process in which legal decisions are made as a result of technical examinations. The issue of death after surgery, which is one of the most difficult situations to solve for the establishment of justice, is a process that requires multidisciplinary studies. In any case, it is difficult to satisfy the feelings of justice of all stakeholders., The crime of involuntary manslaughter resulting from gynecological surgical operations is a concept signifying a distinctive meaning for surgeons, patients, and jurists respectively. In the wake of death resulting from gynecological surgical operations, patients' relatives go through a period of questioning regarding if death was truly inevitable, and as to whether or not the situation arose from a medical error. Herein, elucidating the concept of complication doesn't tend to be easy. The ultimate level of attainment a surgeon can achieve regarding patients' welfare is managing such complications correctly if they were to arise. On the other hand, the occurrence of death following a surgical operation is a crime requiring official investigation according to the Turkish Criminal Law. Judgment regarding the typical crime is a period necessitating expert witness investigation, and the verdict is mostly an obiter dictum resulting from this technical investigation. Death following surgical operation is one of the most difficult situations to rectify concerning the establishment of justice, it is an issue requiring a multidisciplinary approach to resolve, and oftentimes satisfying each party's sense of justice proves itself to be difficult. In our thesis, the crime of involuntary manslaughter resulting from gynecological surgical operations has been reviewed with regard to medical standards and law in force.
