Perforated Colon during Hernia repair.Is this malpractice?
WEEZ asked:
I had a Lap choly and hernia repair. The surgeon nicked my colon 3 times and I got septic and peritonitis. I was wondering if this is considered malpractice. I had cervical cancer and had radiation damage 13 yrs ago and had a hysterectomy. I also had a C-section 12 years ago. According to what I read, Laparoscopic surgery should not have been attempted. Anyone know whether this is a breach of standard of care?
I am still having a lot of problems 1 year later. I have lost my job and insurance and cannot work yet.
