On Grey’s Anatomy, a surgeon might accidentally nick an artery or leave a sponge inside a patient—but the story always moves on. In real life, however, surgical errors are a leading cause of medical malpractice lawsuits in Pennsylvania and nationwide.
Whether it’s a botched procedure, a wrong-site surgery, or an object left inside the body, these incidents can lead to:
Chronic pain
Life-threatening infections
Repeat surgeries
Permanent disability
At Pisanchyn Law Firm, we’ve helped victims of surgical negligence recover damages for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. While Grey’s Anatomy highlights the human side of surgery, we focus on accountability and justice for real patients.
Common Surgical Mistakes That Lead to Malpractice Claims:
Surgery on the wrong body part
Leaving tools or sponges inside patients
Operating under the influence of fatigue or medication
Failure to obtain informed consent
If you or a loved one has been harmed by a surgical error, you may be entitled to compensation. Don’t let a doctor’s mistake become your burden.
