Types Of Surgical Mistakes

There are risks to any surgery. A patient can suffer a serious injury or die even if the doctor and the hospital staff did everything they were supposed to do. However, if you suffered an injury due to a preventable surgical error, the provider may be guilty of malpractice.

There are several types of surgical errors that may constitute malpractice:

• Failure to diagnose a dangerous medical condition during surgery
• Operating on the wrong part of a patient’s body
• Damaging healthy organs during surgery
• Leaving instruments in a patient’s body following surgery
• Mistakes made during emergency surgery
• Anesthesia errors during surgery
• Failure to prevent or fix complications during surgery
• Failure to properly monitor a patient for issues such as infection or internal bleeding following surgery

It is important to seek early legal advice regarding a potential malpractice claim based on a surgical error. Our lawyers will collect medical records for professional review and determine if you have a strong case.
