Helping You Recover From Serious Surgical Errors
A surgery often involves a lot of health care professionals, tools and equipment. In some instances, surgical errors occur. For example, in an abdominal surgery, the doctor may leave a clamp or sponge in the patient. Or, the surgical team might operate on the wrong part of the patient’s body.
Other examples include:
- Anesthesia errors, including instances when an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist administer the anesthesia improperly or failed to monitor a patient’s vital signs.
- Careless supervision such as when a resident, fellow or chief surgeon fails to provide adequate and careful supervision.
- Careless surgery such as a surgeon who cuts a blood vessel or an organ not involved in the surgery that results in extensive and unnecessary damage.
- Inadequate discharge instructions such as when patients are not properly provided the necessary instructions for postoperative care.
