Examples of Surgical Errors
Like any medical procedure, there are a wide range of errors and mistakes that can occur during surgery, many of which are caused by practitioner negligence. Perhaps the most horrifying surgical error is the wrong-site surgery, where the doctor operates on healthy tissue rather than the site requiring attention. This problem seems easily avoidable, yet wrong-site surgeries happen all the time.
While wrong-site surgery is one of the most distressing types of surgical errors, it is not the only mistake that can occur. In fact, there are many different errors a surgeon or attending nurses and techs can make, all of which can have devastating, far-reaching impacts on your life.
Examples of relatively common surgical errors include:
- Foreign objects/instruments left in the body
- Wrong-site surgery
- Wrong-patient surgery
- Wrong procedure
- Nerve damage
- Issues with anesthesia
While surgical mistakes are relatively rare, it’s estimated that there are over 4,000 preventable surgery errors in the U.S. every year. Most hospitals are required to classify these as “never events”; in other words, they should never happen. The only reason these types of errors occur is because of medical negligence.
