Virginia Medical Negligence Lawyer Talks About Hysterectomies

http://www.hsinjurylaw.com/library/perforated-bowel-or-colon-during-hysterectomy-can-cause-major-medical-problems.cfm. Virginia Medical Negligence Injury Lawyer Jim Lewis Takes a Moment to Talk About Hysterectomies: 

I have met lots of women who have undergone a surgical procedure called a hysterectomy.  Hysterectomies are performed for many different reasons and essentially amount to the surgical removal of a lady's uterus. 

More and more frequently, this procedure is performed laparoscopically.  Laparoscopic surgery allows the surgeon to achieve his surgical goals with a minimal amount of incisions.  This results in a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery.               

Unfortunately, the laparoscopic instrument doesn't allow the surgeon to see as well as he could with an open incision.  Because of this, one of the most frequent laparoscopic hysterectomy injuries we see is damage to one or both of the ureters.  The ureter is the tube that runs from the kidney to the bladder.  It must be carefully identified and avoided during a laparoscopic hysterectomy.  If the ureter is injured this usually results in the patient becoming quite ill and having to endure numerous surgeries to address and try to correct the problem.  These procedures and surgeries are quite painful and frequently take months to resolve.               

If you or someone you know is the victim of a ureter injury during a laparoscopic hysterectomy please give me a call or visit my web site at hsinjurylaw.com.  I will be happy to discuss the case with you so that you and I can work together to figure out if I can help.
