Research indicates that up to 50% of surgical problems could have been avoided. These mistakes include:
• Pre-operative negligence
• Misreading medical records or charts
• Medication overdoses
• Anesthesia errors including allergic reaction, overdoses or failure to monitor the patient
• Incorrect incisions
• Surgery on the wrong body part
• Negligent amputation of the wrong body part, or unnecessary amputation
• Perforated or punctured organs
• Unnecessarily delayed or prolonged surgery
• Failure to diagnose and/or treat post-operative infections
Mistakes like these can occur during any type of surgery, but seem to be especially prevalent in childbirth, laparoscopic intestinal procedures, thoracic or cardiothoracic surgery.
