Surgical Error Lawsuits

Orlando, Florida

Surgical error refers to mistakes by surgeons and/or hospital staff members during surgical procedures, causing serious complications, severe injury, or even death to their patients. Surgical errors that result in serious injuries are among the worst kinds of medical malpractice.

Types of surgical errors include the following.

• Slips of your physician's scalpel which may slice into organs or other vital tissues which are in close proximity to your surgical site
• Surgical instrument(s) left in your body-these can include scalpels, sponges, retractors, or surgical towels as well as other surgical instruments
• Surgery that is unrelated to your medical condition
• Wrong patient surgery
• Wrong surgical procedure-whether on your correct body part or not. (This also includes removing the wrong part of your body.)
• Wrong-site surgery-these are comprised of operating on the wrong organ, limb, or other areas of your body
• Administering the wrong blood type
• Failure to carefully review all charts and instructions prior to surgery
• Incorrect anesthesia or overdose of anesthesia
