Every year thousands of surgeries are performed in the United States, many of which involve numerous forms of surgical errors caused by the negligence of surgeons and hospital staff, causing severe injury or death to patients. Victims of surgical errors may experience extreme pain and suffering as a result of the surgeon’s negligence. Surgery malpractice and medical negligence may affect the victim and his or her family in many ways, including financial hardships, relationship strain, inability to work, inability to care for children, and other serious problems.

The following are some recent examples of the seriousness of surgical errors that have occurred in the United States:

• A woman in South Carolina was the victim of breast cancer misdiagnoses resulting in the unnecessary surgical removal of one breast.
• A Florida woman became the victim of surgical malpractice when a surgeon negligently performed a mastectomy on her, instead of removing her tumor. The surgeon was mistaken, and confused one patient for another, leading to the surgical error.
• A woman in New York was blinded in one eye due to damage to the optic nerve as the result of negligence during routine eye surgery.
• A Texas bladder cancer patient became the victim of surgical error when he underwent surgery and his surgeon mistakenly thought the cancer spread to the man’s penis. The surgeon unnecessarily removed the penis and testicles without the patient’s consent, later finding that the cancer had not spread to those areas.
