Gallbladder Surgery Malpractice

Gallbladder surgery is one of the most frequently performed in the United States. Around 90% of these procedures are done laparoscopically, allowing for a much smaller incision and reducing risks of surgical error. However, even in the world of modern medicine, errors are made during gallbladder surgery – and those errors can result in serious or even fatal injury.

Gallbladder Surgery Errors

The most common error made during gallbladder surgery is perforation of the bile duct, allowing bile to drain into the abdominal cavity. This can cause infection, peritonitis (abdominal wall inflammation), abscess, and even death.

When fixing the problem is possible, additional surgeries and lengthy hospital stays are often needed. When closing the perforation is not possible, tubes that drain bile into an external bag may be needed and life-expectancy may be shortened. In extreme cases, sepsis and other complications may result in a loss of life.

In all cases, victims of gallbladder surgery malpractice have a duty to hold negligent healthcare providers accountable – both to recover damages and to ensure they are not allowed to harm again.
