Although general surgery is a recognized medical specialty, most surgeons choose to become hyper-specialized with respect to a particular body part or procedure. Also, the performance of a surgical procedure usually involves the cooperation of additional medical specialists such as an anesthesiologist and/or certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). In the case of major surgical procedures, there may be multiple medical disciplines involved in both pre and post surgical care. Many medical negligence claims arising from surgical procedures are related to the failure to appreciate the onset of a post surgical complication. Surgical errors due to negligence often arise in the following situations:

  • Orthopedic knee surgery
  • Hip replacement
  • Nerve block
  • Epidural injections
  • Laparoscopic procedures
  • Appendectomy
  • Spinal surgery
  • Podiatric procedures
