Unnecessary surgery is a severe form of negligence, and while it can impact patients in different ways, the most common types of unnecessary surgery that may be performed as a result of surgical negligence include:
• Surgery performed in the wrong area of the body
• Surgery performed on the wrong person
• Surgery performed where another, less-invasive procedure may have been more appropriate
• Surgery performed with an insufficient or an exorbitant amount of anaesthesia
If you have undergone unnecessary surgery, then you could have a claim for compensation.
