Surgical Errors: When Operations Go Wrong, We Fight for Justice

•Common Types of Surgical Errors

Surgical errors can occur in various forms, including:

• Wrong-site surgery: Operating on the incorrect part of the body.
• Wrong-patient surgery: Performing a procedure intended for another individual.
• Retained surgical instruments: Leaving tools or sponges inside the patient's body.
• Anesthesia errors: Administering incorrect dosages leading to complications.
• Infections due to non-sterile equipment: Failing to maintain a sterile environment, resulting in postoperative infections.

These errors often stem from miscommunication, inadequate preoperative planning, or sheer negligence.

•Recognizing the Impact of Surgical Negligence

The consequences of surgical errors can be profound:

• Physical complications: Including infections, organ damage, or additional surgeries.
• Emotional trauma: Anxiety, depression, and loss of trust in medical professionals.
• Financial burdens: Unexpected medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost income.
• Long-term disability: Permanent impairments affecting quality of life.

Understanding the full extent of these impacts is crucial in building a comprehensive legal case.
