Incorrect Operation

Los Angeles Surgical Error Attorneys

Surgical errors may cause serious injury to a patient. If the incorrect operation is performed, a patient may be left with a missing kidney, an amputated limb or perhaps a surgical procedure that was absolutely unnecessary and did not fix the medical problem at hand. The patient may then need to undergo surgery again; this time the correct operation to actually remedy the problem for which he or she originally sought medical treatment, or perhaps another surgery to repair the damage that the incorrect surgery caused. In all, the patient is likely to face exorbitant medical bills, extended hospitalization, and physical and emotional trauma as well.

Causes of Incorrect Operations

Why does an incorrect operation occur in the first place? A lack of communication between surgical staff and nurses, mixed up charts, or perhaps a misdiagnosis may lead to an unnecessary surgery or an incorrect operation. These issues may stem from medical malpractice, negligence or errors on the part of any individual in the hospital, or perhaps hospital management. In any event, by taking immediate legal action a victim can determine whether he or she can seek financial compensation for injuries sustained due to the incorrect operation or surgery.
