Surgical Errors

The medical malpractice attorneys of Donague & Labrum are committed to advocating for the rights of those who have suffered due to surgical errors and negligence.

Understanding Surgical Errors and Medical Malpractice

Surgery is a complex and delicate medical procedure that demands the utmost precision, skill, and attention from medical professionals. While the vast majority of surgeries are successful, errors can and do occur. Surgical errors encompass a range of preventable mistakes that can have devastating consequences for patients. These errors may include:

  • Wrong-site surgery: Performing a procedure on the wrong body part or even the wrong patient.
  • Anesthesia errors: Administering incorrect dosages of anesthesia or failing to monitor patients properly during surgery.
  • Instrument or foreign object retention: Accidentally leaving surgical instruments, sponges, or other foreign objects inside the patient’s body after surgery.
  • Infections: Failing to maintain proper sterilization protocols, leading to postoperative infections.
  • Nerve or organ damage: Inadvertently damaging nerves, organs, or blood vessels during surgery.
  • Post-operative care negligence: Inadequate monitoring, follow-up, or care after surgery, leading to complications.
