Gynaecological claims
The most common types of gynaecological claims arise from
complications associated with surgery.
Gynaecological procedures that can lead to injuries through
incompetence or negligence include:
- Total abdominal hysterectomy
- Laparoscopic sterilisation
- Pelvic floor repairs
- Dilatation and Curettage (D&C)
Injuries can include:
- Incontinence following surgery
- Perforation of the uterus during the insertion of a
contraceptive coil
- Failed sterilisation
- Damage during laparoscopic investigations or
surgery
- Injury to bladder, bowel or uterus during
hysterectomy
- Unnecessary hysterectomy following a caesarean
section
- Defective consent to medical procedures
- Infection resulting in loss of childbearing
potential
Other gynaecological errors
Other injuries can arise from different types of gynaecological
treatment, including contraceptive procedures, termination of
pregnancy and surgery.
Side-effects relating to injected hormone contraceptives may
also occur - and where contraceptive devices are fitted or
termination occurs, there may be perforation of internal
organs.
In some cases failure to diagnose certain conditions, such as
cervical cancer, can have tragic consequences.
