Surgical errors

Unfortunately, many things can go wrong during surgery, for many different reasons. Some of them may be the direct result of negligence or mistakes made during surgery by the surgical team. These medical malpractice mistakes can include surgical mistakes during operations such as gall bladder or knee surgery, and anesthesia-related negligence due to inattention or improper type or amount of anesthesia.
