Wrong-Site Surgery
It is estimated that in a ten year period upwards of 1000 wrong site surgery injuries occur. However, this figure also underestimates the prevalence of wrong-site surgery, as every case does not result in a claim and only claims are recorded as part of the raw number. Most wrong-site surgeries involve relatively minor procedures such as arthroscopy, rather than limb amputations or major neurosurgical procedures. Consequently side effects are not as severe as permanent disability however are often times non the less costly to the patients. The recover time that is incurred as a result of wrong site surgery can be immense and can interfere with a person's social life and their status at the work place.
