Surgical negligence refers to a type of medical malpractice where a surgical procedure is performed incorrectly or negligently, resulting in harm to the patient. Surgical negligence can occur during any type of surgery, from minor outpatient procedures to major operations.
Examples of surgical negligence include performing the wrong surgical procedure on a patient, leaving surgical instruments or foreign objects inside the patient’s body, causing nerve damage during surgery, or failing to provide proper postoperative care. In some cases, surgical negligence can result in serious harm or even death to the patient.
Patients who have suffered harm due to surgical negligence may be entitled to compensation for their injuries. This may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
