Surgical Error

New York City Surgical Error Attorneys

NEW YORK CITY SURGICAL ERROR ATTORNEYS

Like other forms of medical negligence, surgical malpractice may be defined as a failure to provide an accepted standard of care – before, during, or after surgery. This means that the surgeon, anesthesiologist, or other medical professional in question failed to act as other reasonably competent professionals would have in the same or similar circumstances with the same tools at hand.

The following are potential examples of surgical malpractice:

  • Failure to get informed consent prior to a procedure
  • Operating on the wrong side of the body or the wrong body part
  • Performing an unnecessary operation
  • Leaving an instrument or other object inside a patient
  • Failure to properly monitor a patient under anesthesia
  • Incorrect anesthesia dose
  • Accidental organ or vein perforation
  • Operating room fire
  • Negligent post-operative care, leading to infection or other harm
