Common surgical errors include performing the wrong procedure, leaving foreign objects in the body, damaging vital organs, or causing infections. Such mistakes can lead to severe pain, disability, and even death.
Client’s case
Our client, in her late 30’s, had undergone surgery for the relief of back pain. The surgeon damaged a bundle of nerves, unnecessarily taking a biopsy in the mistaken belief that she may have had a tumor. After the operation, the patient developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy with chronic pain and deteriorating use of her leg. She underwent a below the knee amputation. She has resumed a relatively normal life with a prosthesis. After a long and protracted defense, the case settled before opening statements.
