Consequences of Misdiagnosis

Sometimes misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary surgeries. For example, confusing an acute abdominal inflammatory episode with a case of acute appendicitis can lead to the performance of an unnecessary appendectomy.

Surgical Errors Lead to Repeat Surgery, Scarring, and Chronic Pain

An error in your surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving sponges or instruments in the body, or improper antiseptic practices can result in pain, repeating the surgery, scarring, and worse. Surgical procedures have even been performed on the wrong person due to the negligence of the physician, surgeon, or hospital personnel.
