Surgical Errors

Another common form of medical malpractice is surgical error. This occurs when a patient suffers an injury from surgery because the doctor fell below the standard of care in that he/she:

• Performs the wrong operation or operates on the wrong patient.
• Performs an operation on a patient who should not reasonably have been considered a candidate for the surgery.
• Cuts or damages a part of the body that should not reasonably have been damaged.
• Fails to properly administer anesthesia.
• Leaves a surgical instrument or sponge in the patient’s body.
• Improperly inserts a medical device or prosthesis such as a pacemaker or artificial hip.
