About Surgical Negligence claims in Ireland
Surgical negligence claims fall into two groups. The first is \"Never Events\" (wrong-site surgery, wrong-procedure surgery, retained foreign objects). The second turns on the technical execution of the procedure itself: bile duct injuries during gallbladder surgery, ERCP complications, ureteric injuries during pelvic surgery, nerve injuries from injection or nerve block, diathermy burns, mismanaged spinal fusion, cataract and laser eye complications, and oral and maxillofacial surgical errors. A separate strand concerns informed consent. Below are the specific claim types we investigate within this category.
