Philadelphia Surgical Instrument Malpractice Lawyer

Malpractice Involving Retained Surgical Instruments

Surgeons and staff are supposed to count surgical instruments before and after surgery. Unfortunately, mistakes are made and instruments and sponges are left in patients. The results can be deadly. Serious and life-threatening infection, perforation of the bowel or another organ, toxic shock, and severe pain and suffering can result when any foreign bodies are left in a patient after surgery.

In the best case scenario, someone who has had a surgical instrument left in his or her body may have to undergo the risks and pain involved with a subsequent surgery to remove a sponge, surgical clip, scalpel, forceps, retractor or other object. In other cases, the consequence may be sepsis, organ failure and death. Even if recovery is possible after a surgical instrument is left in a patient, it is often a long, painful and extremely expensive process.

I would not have been able to achieve the results and reach the settlement that I was awarded without the legal representation of My Philly Lawyer. Thank you Dean and Frank and your entire team.

My Philly Lawyer represented me for an auto accident. The entire process was a pleasure. I was more than satisfied with the outcome. During a normally stressful time, I was put at ease by the entire staff at My Philly Lawyer and I won’t hesitate to have them represent me again.
