Gynaecological Claims on the Isle of Wight
When something goes wrong with a gynaecological operation the patient can be left with a long term injury and psychological stress.
Most gynaecological operations are carried out safely by an experienced and competent surgeon but when a patient suffers as a result of a gynaecological operation, it may be the result of an incorrect diagnosis, sub-standard surgical treatment or simply poor care.
Duty of Care
All patients are owed a ‘duty of care’. If you feel that the standard of care you received before, during or after your gynaecological treatment fell below an appropriate level and you suffered injury as a result, you may have a claim for criminal negligence.
The following are examples of some of the problems that can occur:
- Damage from medical instruments
- Failure to diagnose and treat a pelvic organ prolapse (stretched out of position during pregnancy)
- Failure to diagnose cervical, ovarian or vaginal cancer
- Failure to diagnose womb disorders
- Unnecessary hysterectomy (removal of the womb)
- Psychological harm caused by failed fertility treatments
- Errors in fitting a contraceptive device
- Failed sterilisation
- Inadequate suturing (stitching), rips and tears
- Infections
- Anaesthetic errors
- Incontinence following surgery
