General Surgical Errors

Any surgery can be potentially hazardous to any patient, even in the absence of any medical negligence. However, many types of surgical procedures have a very low incidence of complications. So, when death or any serious injury occurs from such surgery, there is a higher likelihood of negligence.

Some of the most common types of surgical errors include...

• Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery, such as gallbladder operations involving injuries to the bile duct
• Cervical lymph note biopsies involving injuries to the accessory nerve
• Anaesthetic errors
• Orthopaedic (bone and joint) surgery
• Cosmetic surgery
• Breast reduction surgery
• Laser surgery

Many cases of surgical negligence are a result of poor post-operative care, including a failure to diagnose a complication or problem from the surgery itself. Our team of specialists have extensive experience in dealing with claims arising when a patient has died, or suffered a significant injury after surgery.
