Causes of Wrong Site Surgeries
Although the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has established medical procedures and safety standards, certain factors continue to lead to wrong site surgeries. Some of the most common causes of this inexcusable medical error include:
- Multiple surgeons working on one patient, either at the same time or at different times
- Unusual patient characteristics which alter the set up of the equipment
- Negligence due to time constraints
- Improper procedures and incomplete pre-operative assessments
Surgical errors can result in extended medical treatment, extended rehabilitation and recovery periods, and potentially even more surgical procedures. If you have been the victim of a negligent medical professional and have had surgery on the wrong part of your body, fight back. Our Champaign wrong site surgery attorneys are ready to help fight for the compensation you deserve.
