Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Virginia Talks About Laparoscopic Injuries

http://www.hsinjurylaw.com/reports/surgeries-gone-wrong-the-top-5-surgical-errors-and-how-not-to-become-a-victim.cfm. Medical Negligence Lawyer Jim Lewis Discusses Laparoscopic Surgeries and Potential Injuries: 

More and more surgeries today are being performed laparoscopically. Most of them are abdominal surgeries for things like hysterectomies, gallbladder surgery and appendicitis surgery.  The advantages of laparoscopic surgery relate primarily to the fact that it can be performed with minimal incisions.  This means a shorter stay in the hospital and a faster recovery. 

Unfortunately, by definition, laparoscopic procedures give the operating surgeon less of an opportunity to see the area that he is operating on.  This results in a surprisingly high number of unintended injuries.  Bowel perforations during laparoscopic surgery is one of the most serious unintended injuries that can happen.  Bowel perforations during laparoscopic surgery usually result in severe damages to the abdomen of the patient, can take months and months to heal and, in rare occasions, can be fatal. 

Our Virginia medical malpractice law firm frequently sees this type of injury during laparoscopic hysterectomies, gallbladder removal surgeries and appendicitis surgeries. 

If you or someone you know has suffered a bowel injury or bowel perforation during a laparoscopic surgical procedure and would like to speak to a lawyer who has years of experience representing victims of this type of injury, please give me a call or visit our web site at hsinjurylaw.com.  We can help.
