Surgical Error
A surgical error can cause serious injury, illness or even death. When a surgeon, anesthesiologist, nurse or other person associated with a surgery is negligent, makes a mistake or commits some other wrongdoing, this is a form of medical malpractice. Some examples of surgical errors include: performing the wrong procedure, performing the procedure to the wrong part of the body (example: left arm instead of right arm), leaving something behind and anesthesia malpractice.
