Surgical malpractice occurs when a surgeon or other healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care expected during a surgical procedure, resulting in harm to the patient.
Client’s case
A routine laparoscopic hernia mesh surgery was compounded by a erroneous colon perforation, which went undetected for a few days, ultimately requiring an emergency life-saving laparotomy surgery, which resulted in abdominal scarring and an unexpected protracted work disability.
