Surgery Malpractice

Common Surgery--Dangerous If Rules Not Followed

One of the most common surgeries performed in America is the removal of a woman’s uterus—an operation called a “hysterectomy”.  Tens of thousands of American women have this operation done every year.  Advances in medical equipment have made this operation much safer and easier on the women patients—when the new equipment is used correctly.

Gall bladder removal surgery—what surgeons call “cholecystectomy” is one of the top five most common surgeries performed in the United States.  These surgeries are typically performed by “general surgeons” who also perform a large variety of other surgeries.
