What Our Clients Say

"When looking for an attorney, I couldn't find anything negative about the Rasansky Law Firm. When I called other law firms, I had a hard time getting through to anyone. The accident was horrifying. I lost my job after the accident. It was great someone was able to meet with me at my home. Troy eased my mind. I later met with Ryan, and he answered all my questions about my case. Ryan did a great job getting the best settlement for me."

Medical Malpractice : Surgery Mistake & Error

Are We At the Mercy of Our Surgeons? Flagrant Surgical Errors and Surgery Mistakes Cost Patients Their Lives.

Trust and Confidence

Patients place trust and confidence in doctors and surgeons every single day - especially just before they undergo anesthesia and a major surgical procedure. And, although no doctor can guarantee a 100 percent success rate for any surgery, patients play the odds when making health care choices - they bet that the doctor is an experienced and professional surgeon who will do everything within his power to make sure the surgery is a success.

When a surgeon makes a flagrant error that costs a patient his quality of life, there must be consequences. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help you get the compensation you deserve.

One study suggests that patient safety, and surgical errors, surgery mistakes, and cases or surgery malpractice, among other types of medical malpractice errors resulted in over 238,000 preventable deaths over a four year period and cost the U.S. government through programs such as Medicare close to $8.8 billion. In fact, the problem has become so prevalent in recent years that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid recently stopped reimbursing hospitals for medical mistakes and medical errors for the subsequent health care treatment required to treat patients as a result of medical malpractice stemming from eight major preventable surgical mistakes - including doctors and nurses leaving foreign objects in a person's body after surgery and certain kinds of acquired post-surgical infections.

Due to the risks inherent in surgery and situations where anesthesia is used, surgical errors can often be serious and deadly.

A surgical or surgery mistake and/or error is generally classified as those made in preparation for, during, or after surgery, including:

Failure to properly diagnose a condition, which leads to surgery on a healthy organ or body part
Pre-operation errors relating to anesthesia, medication, or medical records that results in death, brain damage, or other serious injury
Wrong site operations, including amputation or removal of healthy tissue, limbs or organs
Unsanitary surgical instruments and the resulting infections including sepsis
Puncture or other damage to organs (sometimes healthy) during surgery
Post-surgery mistakes, such as leaving surgical instruments inside the body, failure to monitor and asses a patient's condition, and/or failure to clean and close the surgery site properly

Types of Surgeries

Errors can and do occur in every type of surgical situation and procedure from exploratory surgery to heart surgery. However, there are common high-risk surgeries include:

Gastric Bypass or Lap-Band Surgery
Lasik Surgery
Spine Surgery
Cardiac Surgery

And in all types of surgery, there is always risk for injury from anesthesia mistakes and blood/fluid transfusion reactions.
