Gynecological Surgery Malpractice Attorney Serving Clients Near Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, Irving & North Texas
Each year, hundreds of thousands of women in the U.S. undergo hysterectomies — a procedure so common that by age 60, more than one in three women will have had one (according to the CDC).
With modern surgical tools, well-established safety protocols, and extensive training, serious gynecological surgery complications should be rare. However, attorney John Polewski, a seasoned medical malpractice lawyer with decades of experience, continues to see cases where these standards are ignored.
As a certified Personal Injury Trial Lawyer — a distinction earned by fewer than 2% of Texas attorneys — Mr. Polewski has seen firsthand how surgical shortcuts and careless mistakes during hysterectomy procedures can lead to catastrophic injuries. These aren’t rare missteps. They’re avoidable errors with life-changing consequences.

When Routine Procedures Go Wrong
The Polewski & Associates team has handled numerous malpractice cases involving injuries during or after hysterectomy surgery. Some of the most common issues include:
- Clamping, cutting, or burning of the ureter (the duct that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder)
- Damage to the bladder during surgery
- Bowel injuries caused by cutting or cauterization
- Failure to check the surgical site for injuries before completing the procedure
- Delayed recognition and treatment of injuries to the urinary or digestive tract
These injuries often lead to long-term pain, disfigurement, and, in some cases, permanent disability. We’ve represented women who were left with colostomy bags, ongoing incontinence, and extensive internal damage — all of which could have been avoided with proper care. Some clients endured months of suffering. Others didn’t survive.
Signs of Injury During Gynecological Surgery
Several issues can indicate an injury during gynecological surgery, including:
- Excessive bleeding during or after the procedure
- Severe abdominal pain or cramping
- Unusual discharge or foul-smelling odor
- Fevers or chills, which can indicate a possible infection
- Difficulty urinating or bowel movements
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
It’s imperative that you contact a physician as soon as possible if you notice any of these symptoms.
