Surgical Errors
The ever increasing range of surgical procedures and the complexity of the techniques used have resulted in a wide range of different surgical errors and other medical mistakes. Complaints can arise from:
- a failure to advise of the risks before the operation (so that the patient can give truly informed consent)
- the wrong surgeon doing the wrong operation with the wrong equipment or any combination of these
- the correct operation being done but badly.
- anaesthetic mistakes
Cases involving surgical errors which we have handled successfully include:
- £190,000 damages recovered for a failed hip revision operation resulting in a fractured femur.
- £50,000 damages recovered for a failed varicose vein operation.
- £50,000 damages recovered for a failed hip replacement operation resulting in the severing of the sciatic nerve and permanent foot drop.
