Surgical Errors
Thousands of people are injured every year as a result of preventable surgical errors. Virtually all surgical procedures carry a risk of complications such as blood clots, reactions to anesthesia, infections, and impaired healing after surgery. However, surgical patients have the right to expect that the doctors and nurses that they trusted took all available steps to minimize the risks associated with that surgery. The following is a list of common surgical errors:
- Wrong site surgeries
- Wrong person surgeries
- Damage to nearby organs
- Failing to remove sponges or other medical instruments
- Failing to diagnose or treat post-operative infections
