Victims of Surgical Malpractice
Surgical malpractice is when a patient is harmed by the negligence of a surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical nurse, or other medical staff involved in a surgical procedure. It occurs when a medical professional deviates from the standard of care in the medical community.
Surgical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice occurs when a doctor and/or surgical staff performs surgery on the wrong part of the body, the wrong organ may be worked upon, the wrong part of the body may be amputated, the doctor fails to establish a clear line of communication between all members of the surgical team, surgical tools are left inside the patient’s body, an organ is punctured during surgery, operating on wrong patient, or the doctor may not have the experience or knowledge needed to perform or complete the surgery, among other critical errors.
The doctor and surgical staff must do everything they can to avoid potential errors. The most common kinds of surgical malpractice cases involve:
- Bariatric Surgery
- Breast Augmentation Surgery
- Colon & Rectal Surgery
- Endocrine Surgery
- Heart Surgery
- Hernia Surgery
- Laparoscopic Surgery
- Liposuction Surgery
- Lung Surgery
- Neurosurgery
- Varicose vein Surgery
- Abdominoplasty Surgery
- Hysterectomy Surgery
- Coronary Artery Stents Surgery
Common Surgical Malpractice
- Leaving a sponge or other instrument or object inside a patient,
- Unnecessary surgery,
- Use of unsanitary instruments,
- Premature discharge of patient after surgery,
- Unnecessary delays in surgery,
- Performing surgery without a plan or regard to patient history,
- Failing to perform checkups after surgery, or
- Damage done to body parts unrelated to surgery.

RES IPSA
Res ipsa loquitur is a Latin phrase that means “the thing speaks for itself.” That because the facts are so obvious, a party need not explain any more. Under this model for res ipsa, there are three requirements that the plaintiff must meet before a jury can infer that the defendant’s negligence caused the harm in question:
- The event does not normally occur unless someone has acted negligently;
- Only one defendant was in exclusive control of the instrumentality that caused the injury; and
- Plaintiff was not at fault—there was no comparative negligence on the part of the victim.
