The idea of having surgery is stressful. As you put your life into the hands of health care providers, you want to trust that the outcome will be favorable. You want to know that your surgeon will perform a successful surgery. You want to wake up with improved health. While this is typically the case, sometimes, negligence results in serious personal injury or even death.

Surgery requires a host of medical professionals working together to ensure that all possible measures are taken to make sure their patient has a successful outcome. While the surgeon is the lead in any surgical procedure, he couldn’t do his job without the nurses, anesthesiologist, and other health care professionals necessary in any given surgery. The more personnel involved, the type of surgery, and the length of time the surgery takes all increase surgical risks.

Types of Surgical Negligence

Surgical medical malpractice happens when one of your health care providers doesn’t perform their duty in the standard expected by law. Some examples of surgical negligence are:

Delayed or Prolonged Surgery
Organ Puncture or Perforation
Wrong Site of Surgery/ Wrong Organ.
Incorrect Incision
Surgical Tools Left in Patient
Nicking a Nerve or Artery
Unnecessary Surgery
Over Sedation

Regardless of the cause, if your surgery was not performed to the standards set down by the laws of medical practice, and you have been left with injuries or side effects, you may have a case for surgical medical malpractice.
