Understanding Surgical Errors

Surgical errors occur when preventable mistakes happen during medical procedures. These errors can range from minor mishaps to life-altering complications and, in the worst cases, even result in fatalities.

• Some common examples of surgical errors include:
• Wrong-Site Surgery: Operating on the wrong body part, leading to unnecessary procedures and complications.
• Anesthesia Errors: Administering the wrong dosage or type of anesthesia, causing adverse reactions or even anesthesia awareness.
• Instrument Retention: Leaving surgical instruments, sponges, or other objects inside the patient’s body after surgery.
• Nerve Damage: Accidentally damaging nerves during surgery, resulting in pain, numbness, or paralysis.
• Infection: Failure to maintain proper sterilization protocols, leading to post-operative infections.
• Organ Perforation: Puncturing or lacerating organs or blood vessels during surgery.

The Legal Ramifications

Medical professionals have a duty of care to their patients, and when they fail to meet the standard expected of them, they may be held liable for their actions. Pursuing a medical malpractice claim for surgical errors can be a complex process, requiring a thorough understanding of both medical and legal principles. Our skilled attorneys have the expertise and resources necessary to navigate these complexities and advocate effectively on your behalf.
