When you or a loved one has surgery, you are placing your trust in the surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and others who are in the operating room. If they make a surgery error that causes injury or the death of a loved one, you deserve answers and compensation.

• A cholestectomy (removal of the gall bladder) requires great care from the surgeon. The surgeon needs to identify all the structures surrounding and attached to the gall bladder. Cutting the wrong duct — the cystic duct rather than the hepatic duct — can be life threatening.
• When there is an inflammation of the gall bladder caused by gallstones, the surgeon must be aware of and treat the dangers of continuing infection.
• Doctors and patients often prefer the non-invasive approach of laparoscopic surgery. While healing is easier with laparoscopic surgery, the surgery requires the same high level of care as any other surgery. A surgical error such as perforation of a nearby organ can cause severe damage to the patient.
• Did lasik eye surgery leave you with a halo effect in your vision? This is not normal. Talk to a medical malpractice lawyer about your situation.
• Did the surgery team leave clips, instruments, or gauze in the surgical wound? Such physician mistakes can require additional surgery and cause extensive injury or wrongful death.
• If a loved one died because of poor post-operative care, hospital malpractice may be responsible for the death. Talk to an attorney who understands medical issues.
