Most Common Surgery Errors

August 13, 2020 admin

It’s true that getting prepared for a surgical procedure is nerve-wracking. Surgical errors are quite common. Surgical errors can happen even when the surgeon is highly experienced. A surgical error is considered as medical malpractice if the surgeon performing the surgical procedure fails to follow the right medical practice.

Common Causes of Surgery Errors

  • Incompetence
  • Insufficient Preoperative Planning
  • Improper Work Process
  • Poor Communication
  • Fatigue
  • Drugs/Alcohol
  • Neglect

Signs of Surgery Errors

  • Intense pain near the surgical area
  • Fever
  • Vomiting
  • Burning pain while urinating
  • Abdominal pain
  • Redness or swelling near surgical wounds

Common Surgery Errors

Foreign Objects Left in the Patient’s Body- Most of the surgeons leave foreign objects such as pads, scalpels or clamps in the patients’ bodies. This can cause infections or lead to death.

Wrong Patient Surgery- Various factors such as lack of preoperative verification, miscommunication between surgeons and hospitals can cause this surgery error. This can lead to many health problems when patients don’t get the right surgery.

Wrong Side Surgery- Believe it or not, wrong side surgeries are quite common in the United States. Wrong side surgeries can cause long-term health issues in patients.

Anesthesia Errors- Anesthesia errors are the most serious surgical errors in the United States. If too much anesthesia is administered, it can cause brain damage and death of patients. If an inadequate amount of anesthesia is given, the patient might experience intense pain during the operation.

Nerve Damage- Wrong surgery can lead to a damaged nerve, which can cause a lifetime of infection and disability.

Miscommunication– A lot of errors may be contributed to miscommunication during the procedure is performed. Physicians not communicating with each other, medical personnel, or with the patient can lead to major errors. Surgeons must speak with each patient before entering the information.

Victims of surgical errors may go through a huge amount of pain and suffering. If you or your family member have been injured due to medical malpractice in Philadelphia, speak to one of the professional attorneys or lawyers. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help you receive the right compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering.
