Has Been Gallbladder Surgery Malpractice
The most common reason to have gallbladder surgery is to remove the gallbladder and possibly gallstones as well. The most common method of removing the gallbladder is through the laparoscopic procedure. However, this operation can result in complications if the surgeon accidentally perforates other organs or, more likely, cuts the common bile duct by mistake.
This is a preventable mistake! Just because the patient signed a form acknowledging that this is a risk does not absolve the surgeon from their mistake! According to the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons, when surgeons perform this operation, they "should ... liberally" use an X-ray procedure that will highlight the common bile duct, so they can avoid cutting it. If the surgeon failed to use this procedure, and if he or she cuts the common bile duct, then that surgeon has likely committed medical malpractice!
Complications from this error can require the patient to have tubes drain bile into a bag, additional and lengthy surgery, and can even lead to death if this condition is untreated!
