Surgical Errors

Glenn Loewenthal, a Georgia surgical errors attorney, represents those who’ve suffered damages from medical care following a Georgia gastric bypass/laparoscopic surgery, obstetric procedures, plastic surgery, or other Georgia medical malpractice. Healthcare providers are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. Unfortunately, some fail to police themselves and engage in reckless behaviors, such as showing up for surgery over-tired or after a night of excessive alcohol consumption. Poor communication, confusing scrawled handwriting and inattentiveness are sometimes found to be the root cause of surgical error, as is inadequate training or improper use of medical equipment.

Surgical errors can include operating on the wrong patient, wrong type of procedure or the wrong surgical site (wrong knee, wrong hip), incorrect amputation, or making an incision incorrectly. Other mistakes, such as delayed surgery, which can translate into excessive anesthesia or failure to disinfect surgical instruments or operating table, are also completely avoidable, as is failing to conduct a thorough pre-operative evaluation for health or allergy concerns. Puncture of blood vessels or other organs, and failure to notice/treat/notify the problem can lead to death. Unnecessary surgery, leaving an unintended foreign object in the body, or errors in post-operative care also qualify for compensatory damages.
