What are types of surgical errors?
Surgical errors are instances where mistakes or negligence occur during surgical procedures, leading to harm or injury to the patient. These surgical errors can have devastating consequences and may include:
Unnecessary Surgery:
Unnecessary surgery refers to situations in which a surgeon conducts a procedure that is unnecessary/wrong surgery performed for the patient’s condition. Such procedures can put patients at risk and lead to unwarranted complications.
Incorrect Surgical Procedures:
This occurs when a surgeon performs an incorrect type of surgery for the patient’s condition, operates on the wrong body part or side, or conducts a surgery that is contraindicated for the patient’s specific health situation. These errors can result in serious harm.
Poor Surgical Technique:
Poor surgical technique occurs when a surgeon causes harm through the use of improper surgical methods, the failure to employ appropriate surgical techniques, or the lack of due diligence during the surgical process causing mistakes during surgery. It is not uncommon for surgeons to inadvertently damage adjacent structures, organs, or nerves due to these inadequacies.
Anaesthesia-Related Errors:
Anaesthesia-related errors pertain to instances where the individual responsible for administering anaesthesia during a procedure does so improperly or neglects to adequately monitor the patient’s condition throughout the surgery. These errors can have life-threatening consequences.
Inadequate Post-Operative Care:
Errors in post-operative care refer to situations where, even if the surgery initially appears successful without evident complications, the subsequent recovery period can have significant consequences. Patients must undergo close monitoring for the development of potential issues, and a failure to do so can result in preventable devastating outcomes.
