Seeking Compensation From Negligent Doctors and Hospitals
Many people agree to go through gall bladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, in the hope of gaining permanent relief from painful gall stones. When this surgery is not performed correctly, however, it can have extremely serious, long-term consequences.
At Furr & Henshaw, our firm includes some of the most experienced gall bladder surgery lawyers in South Carolina. If you have suffered serious bodily harm or a loved one has died as a result of something that happened during gall bladder surgery, we can help.
Were You Seriously Injured During Gall Bladder Surgery?
Advances in surgical techniques have made it possible for doctors to perform gall bladder surgery relatively easily and painlessly, primarily through the use of laparoscopic surgery. When gall bladder surgery is performed properly, it can be done at relatively low risk.
Unfortunately, some doctors and other surgical staff do not follow the correct procedures during gall bladder surgery, often causing serious injuries to their patients.
One of the most common injuries that occur during gall bladder surgery is clipping or cutting of the common bile duct. This is a serious injury that can result in permanent digestive problems, liver damage, damage to the pancreas, diabetes, and even death from peritonitis.
In some cases, people who have suffered bile duct injuries need complete surgical reorganization of the intestines, a procedure known as Roux-en-Y anastomosis.
