Undergoing any serious medical procedure can be traumatizing- the pain, uncertainty and recovery period following the procedure are all daunting factors associated with any hospitalization. The support and love of family and close friends can help you get through the process, but unfortunately, surgical errors during hospitalizations are more common that you imagine.
After coming out of any surgical procedure, the last thing you want to hear is that there was a surgical error. If you have been a victim of surgical error, know you are not alone.
A 2016 study found that surgical errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
Surgical errors happen for a multitude of reasons- they may be predicted outcomes of the surgery, such as post-op fever or infection. While some of these outcomes are mild and unavoidable, some surgical errors are more serious and life-threatening.
Some surgical errors should never happen, like operating on the wrong patient, wrong site or performing the wrong procedure. Other surgical error injuries could have been prevented had surgeons or hospital staff taken appropriate measures to avoid mistakes, such as proper training, credentialing and record keeping.
