Surgical Malpractice Lawsuits

Even with many highly-skilled, well-trained and effective medical professionals providing care in this country today, over 225,000 people lose their lives due to medical malpractice or negligence each year.  Many of those are due to various errors or negligent acts during surgery.  Although we expect that treatment and procedures will always go smoothly and as planned, the human body is extraordinarily complex and even the most skilled physicians make mistakes.  Sadly, surgical mistakes many times lead to death and critical injury.  If you have suffered an injury due to negligence in surgery or have lost a loved one to surgical malpractice, contact a Las Vegas medical malpractice or negligence attorney for help with your many questions.

Surgery can sometimes be necessary in emergency medical treatment, such as after an accident or cardiac arrest.  Other surgeries may be urgent and necessary, but not critical. Yet others are elective, such as cosmetic procedures.  Surgeries may be inpatient or outpatient in nature, and malpractice can occur as part of any invasive or diagnostic procedure such as nuclear imaging or angiograms.  Regardless of the type of surgery or procedure, there are always risks involved, such as:

• Removal of or procedure upon the wrong area of the body
• Puncture or perforation of an internal organ
• Contaminated conditions in the surgery room or use of unsterilized equipment
• Excessive bleeding
• Improper administration of anesthesia
• Post-surgery complications and infections related to negligence or error
