New York Lawyers for Errors and Mistakes in a Laparoscopy Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a highly praised achievement in surgical technique, but if something goes wrong while the surgeon is carrying out this difficult procedure, there may be catastrophic consequences for the patient. This form of medical malpractice often occurs because the surgical technique was negligently performed.

Surgeries that use this minimally invasive technique include gastric bypass or gall bladder procedures. Unfortunately, errors do occur during these and other laparoscopic surgeries. An error during laparoscopic surgery might be: accidentally cutting the bile duct, perforating a vital organ, or failing to remove all malignant tissue during a laparoscopic cancer operation.

Other types of mistake by the doctor include mistakes made during a laparoscopic hernia repair, in which general anesthesia is given, and a small cut is made in or just below the navel, and the abdomen is inflated with air so that the surgeon can see the organs. The laparoscope is then inserted through the incision and the instruments to repair the hernia are inserted through other small incisions in the lower abdomen. At times the laparoscopic surgeon does not realize that the inguinal hernia is incarcerated or strangulated, leading to complications.
