How Do Surgical Errors Occur?

A surgical error is any type of preventable mistake that occurs during a surgical procedure, including administering an incorrect amount of medication (anesthesia error), operating on the wrong part of the body, damaging the patient’s nerves, or leaving a piece of equipment inside a patient.

While most patients sign an informed consent waiver before surgery acknowledging the potential risks of the procedure, surgical errors are unexpected and therefore cannot be planned for. This makes such errors — and their consequences — far more devastating.

There are many reasons a surgical error might occur, including:

  • Doctor incompetence
  • Failing to follow protocol
  • Lack of proper pre‑surgery planning
  • Doctor/assistant fatigue
  • Misuse of drugs or alcohol
  • Carelessness/neglect
  • Poor communication

Regardless of the reason why a surgical error occurred, the consequences are often severe. Mistakes can lead to serious infections, major complications, worsened condition, and even death. If you or your loved one was harmed as a result of a surgical error, our firm can help.
