A gynaecology claim can be very distressing and we are here to help.
Healthcare professionals must be able to detect early warning signs of cervical or gynaecological cancer. Examples of possible negligence claims include, failing to:
Recognise abnormal cells from a cervical smear test
Detect and treat dyskariosis prior to it developing into cervical cancer
Promptly react to symptoms, for example inter-menstrual and post-coital bleeding
Refer patients for appropriate smear tests.
Other common examples of potential gynaecology claims include:
Use of the incorrect embryos during IVF treatment
Failure by the surgeon to recognise damage to the bladder or bowel during hysterectomy surgery
An instrument negligently being left inside a patient following a caesarean section.
