Surgical malpractice includes the negligent performance of an operation, the failure to recognize complications during surgery, leaving instruments or foreign bodies inside the patient, or failure to recognize and properly treat post-operative complications.
Sometimes a surgeon will nick or cut the intestine or another organ during a surgical procedure. While this is definitely unintended, it is not usually, by itself, "medical negligence." Promptly identifying such a surgical error or known complication and repairing the damage usually takes care of it. Sometimes, however, such a surgical error occurs, and then goes unnoticed for days until the patient develops a life-threatening infection. Such cases need to be carefully reviewed by a medical expert to determine whether the infection and the severity of the infection were caused because medical personnel were not attentive to the patient's symptoms.
