Surgical Malpractice
Surgeons have to go through years of medical school and specialized training to ensure that they have the requisite skills to perform their work safely and effectively. When performing surgery, it is critical that surgeons devote their full attention and care to the task at hand, as there are numerous accidents that can occur with a lack of concentration.
While many surgeons consistently devote themselves fully to their task, there are shocking numbers of surgical malpractice lawsuits that arise every year in the United States when surgeons fail to do the jobs they have been entrusted with. In fact, studies have found that there are approximately 225,000 deaths every year in the United States due to negligence by medical professionals, and a high percentage of these deaths are the result of surgical errors and negligence.
Types of Surgical Errors
With the wide variety of surgical procedures performed on a daily basis, there are a number of different errors and accidents that can occur during the surgical process, leading to serious injury, disability, and even death.
Some of the most common surgical errors include:
- Wrong site surgery
- Incorrect procedures
- Mishandling of surgical instruments
- Foreign objects left inside a body cavity
- Surgery on the wrong individual
- Improper suturing
- Post-surgical errors / complications
The only way surgeons can avoid these types of errors is to devote themselves 100% to their work and focus completely and intently on each and every patient they work with.
