Surgical Errors

Surgical procedures are often very complicated.  Many of these carry some level of risk and most patients are warned of these risks before surgery.

However, in view of modern developments in medicine, treatments can be highly technical and complex.  Surgical errors are a common type of clinical negligence claims.

Examples include:-

• Retention of medical instruments, including swabs
• Negligent surgery and unnecessary operations
• Anaesthetic awareness
• Testicular torsion and orchidectomy
• Damage to nerves
• Damage to other organs eg during hysterectomy and other operations
• Vasectomy problems
• Failed sterilisation
• Laparoscopic cholysystectomy
• Breast reduction/enlargement
