St. Louis Wrong Site Surgery Attorneys
A patient receiving treatment for their injuries or illness may require surgery. These procedures put that patient’s body under a great deal of strain and can result in some serious complications. However, these surgeries may go wrong because of the negligence of the doctors or nurses assigned to the surgery. This can be due to a healthcare professional ordering the surgery on the wrong location on the patient’s body.
To learn more about your legal options if a surgeon or nurse has caused you injury, contact the St. Louis wrong site surgery attorneys of the Finney Law Office by calling 314-646-0300 today.
Injuries from Wrong Site Surgeries
Problems with wrong site operations can occur in multiple different ways. This is because these surgeries not only fail to address the original health concern of the patient, but also because the surgery itself can destroy healthy tissue and cause the patient to undergo substantial bodily stress. These complications may lead to some of the following problems:
- Spread of an infection, disease, or cancer
- Loss of functionality due to nerve damage
- Severe bleeding
- Unnecessary scarring
- Significant pain
- Brain damage or stroke
These problems may be treated in some cases by providing the original surgery. However, the progression of an injury or illness may mean that an injured patient needs to pursue additional treatment to deal with their new health concerns.
