Lawyers Fighting to Reduce the Number of Laparoscopic Surgery Errors in Ohio
At the Cleveland law firm of Lancione & Lancione, you will find an attorney with extensive experience and a proven record of success in obtaining substantial verdicts and settlements for clients who have suffered needlessly due to errors during surgery, such as:
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (surgery to remove the gallbladder)
- Laparoscopic hysterectomy
- Laparoscopic liver, pancreas or bile duct
- Laparoscopic weight-loss surgery (also known as bariatric surgery)
Laparoscopic surgery errors are often recognized intraoperatively (during surgery). Standard procedure generally requires the surgeon to call in a specialist to repair the damage caused by a mistake such as a punctured bladder, bowel or artery. Failure to notice and correct common complications, failure to call in a specialist and failure to monitor a patient's condition after surgery may all constitute medical negligence.
Postoperative infection — whether from unsterile implements or operating room conditions or from a nicked bowel — is one of the most common causes of serious injury or death following a laparoscopic procedure. Failure to administer prophylactic antibiotics after laparoscopic surgery is a serious error and may also form the basis of a medical malpractice claim.
