hernia surgery malpractice

I did forget to answer your question if my lump has been examined by my PCP. I must say it certainly was, however I've to question his response in telling me that something popped out of the sixth rib. Then, once I get home & call for a copy of that office visit. I notice, he states that I thought it was a pulled muscle. Now, if that's what I thought, i sure would've of went & paid a co-pay. So, that told me, he's not even sure of what it is.

I had an inguinal hernia repair 3 weeks ago. I have worse pain now. My surgeon said he needs to operate again and do a second repair because the first one failed. Is there any malpractice here?

My mother is in the hospital again due to complications after a gallbladder surgery when they also repaired a umbilical hernia that she did not concern consent for and no one listened to us for a week after surgery now she's in the hospital with internal bleeding and they are doing nothing for her now except watching her she's in extreme pain I will be contracting an attorney as soon as she out because she does feel like she will be retaliated for if we contact an attorney now

I've another question for you. If Dr.'s are so concerned about medical cost rising from unnecessary test. Why is it then, when you're told, for example in my situation I have a fatty liver. Well, instead of telling me the proper treatment in healing the liver. I'm told everything is normal & the reason for my high liver enzymes are caused by lipitor. They'll go down. Well, unfortunately, they are rising. Which will only have me having more test eventually.

First, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. That's so hard. I lost my mom when she was just 52 years old and have never fully recovered to be honest. Her situation was termed a 'medical misadventure' during her autopsy which is code for malpractice. My mom's malpractice issue was follow up of care post surgery. She died of sepsis and had signs of it that the doctor did not follow up on.

My brief involves a medical malpractice case. In your case the initial surgery caused the infection. I do not thinl it is proper to perform surgery on a patient with elevated white cell count as this would indicate possie infection which should have been ruled out. I think you have issues which should at the very least be investigated for several causes of action. My advice is seek out a GOOD atty. See at least 3 and look them up on martindalehubble.com for their peer ratings.

Is this a result of surgery, the accident or both. I don’t understand how a car accident can cause a hernia.

Remember in the USA that malpractice history often has much more to do with highly sued specialties (neurosurgery, obstetrics), and cosmetic surgery (plastic surgery and refractive surgery like lasik) and certain areas of the country Northeast and Florida than with board certfication. Also studies has shown that a poor surgeon with a nice personality is less likely to be sued than a brilliant surgeon with a poor bedside manner.

My husband had the surgery many years ago and he did just fine. You will have to take it easy for awhile though. Depending on how extensive the hernia is, I would'nt be too surprised if they do the surgery out patient. Of course you'll receive pains meds and the Dr will send you home with a script for pain meds.

Anyway my question is has anyone had a surgery other than the nissen fundo to repair the hernia. I am interested in having mine fixed but do NOT want my stomach wrapped around my esophagus. I'd like for a surgeon to just go in and pull the stomach to its proper position and sew up the hole in the diaphram essentially returning everything to its natural order.

s favor says a lot! I would be hesitant to have surgery by any doctor with this sort of sanction or malpractice. Hopefully, you can find a doctor to remove this cyst and preserve your ovary and its life long functions.

'm 24 male unemployed not by choice. Worked after a torsion and hernia for two years till it started to really effect my life. I have chronic orchialga in my scrotum vericocles huge swollen aas well. Had a vericolsectomy and ever since my life has turned a disaster. Pain is beyond manageable. No sex drive no life no job lost my fiance can't have kids can't lift no college degree no unemployment or fsmily to assist.

The doctor examined me and found a groin hernia and I'm scheduled for surgery in sept. I think I want laproscopic but am I going to end up with permanent pain? will the mesh or non-tension method fail to stop the hernia from progressing? I think it's from the gym or coughing from this tracheotomy I'm getting this crippling nausea sometimes and sometimes protonix helps. is it from the hernia or diabetes or GERD? thanks!

Have been on Plavix for 13 months and find I need Hernia surgery now as I am having having many problems due to the Hernia. What is the possibility of having surgery? If I have surgery is the Plavix stopped for a number of days and then resumed?

Any every have a hernia while pregnant? I was complaining the baby's head was so low it was hurting - saw my dr today & it turns out it's a hernia! Grrr- at least baby sounds great (got to hear her hiccups on doplar!). Guess I'll goggle hernias until my surgery consult in 2 weeks.

Hi Jenny, I have a hiatal hernia, but do not require surgery...I have known about my hernia since I was in my teens. I had a few flares that required meds...but, with proper diet and lifestyle I am able to keep it under control without meds. I just got my self off meds after being on them 2 yrs....I had flares from 3 diff surgeries....the meds they use to put u under alone can upset a balanced system.

I have already planned the surgery to fix the hernia for next week . 2 days ago I had an ultrasound which showed that I have gallbladder sludge and maybe some very small stones . I never had any pains in the stomach and the only thing that might be a symptoms is some digestive problems . The doctor advised that since I am going to surgery for the hernia I should proceed with the removal of the gallbladder .

Yes. The surgery for a hiatal hernia is the Nissen Fundaplication, where a portion of the fundus is wrapped around the esophagus in the area of the lower esophageal sphincter. As for the type, 90% of all hiatal hernias are sliding hernias, not paraesophageal, so it's probably a sliding hiatal hernia that you have.

I need gallbladder surgery in the near future. I have abdominal meshing and want to know if they can do laproscopic surgery on me or not. ANYONE have my issue?

I am sorry to hear you have a hernia but at least you finally have answers to the pain you've been experiencing. I have not had a hernia (or don't think that is the cause of my occasional twinges of pain/discomfort) so cannot answer any questions about surgery. Hope all goes well!

Does this mean surgery failed? is hernia back (now they are referring to this as a paraesophageal hernia) The doctors never told us herina might be back so I am wondering when I see x-ray report and it shos Pre-demonstartion of hernia, does that mean there is a new issue or they are seeing repaired hernia? is it typical that Nissen wrap would slip so soon after surgery?

ve had a hydrocele surgery at the age of six, left side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 10, and a right side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 24. My right testicle have been attached closer to my body since my hydrocele surgery and I can clearly remember how uncomfortable it felt to have such an abnormal position of your testicle. After 20 years, I still feel some discomforting pains (on my right testicle) when exercising.

Bottom line I went into get gallbladder removed now I need OPEN Hernia surgery to repair inguinal hernia. (My internist agrees the gas probably pushed the hernia out. Painful bulge,burns sometimes, but seems to go back in when I sleep and pops out next day.) Can gas cause this and if my surgeon read prior scans (he didnt) what could have been done differently. I am sure I am not the first patient to have suffered from gas-induced hernia.
