Houston Texas Lawyer | Helping Victims Who’ve Retained Foreign Objects During Surgery

Almost every surgery requires sponges, surgical clamps, and other instruments. Surgeons and other medical professionals are required to follow strict protocols and procedures to ensure safety. Sadly, these protocols are too often not followed. When they are not, items are left frequently behind in the body. It goes without saying that these can produce injurious consequences including illness, postoperative infection, or organ damage. Depending on the extent of an injury, a woman of child-bearing age may no longer be able to have children.

Surgical Errors

The experience we have gained in our decades of practice obtaining millions for clients readies us for any medical malpractice injury resulting from a retained surgical object, including:

  • Sponges
  • Retractors
  • Caps
  • Surgical instruments

Often, injuries resulting from retained foreign objects are apparent the moment the anesthesia wears off. In other cases, these injuries don’t reveal themselves for months, or even years down the road. That said, it’s paramount you reach out to an attorney the moment you discover your injury, as there is a statute of limitations in place that regulates the timeframe injured patients have to sue. Missing this deadline can result in you permanently losing your right to compensation.
