Gallbladder surgery compensation: Expert medical negligence solicitors

Gallbladder removal surgery, also known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is a very common procedure. Many people who undergo this surgery do so because of complications caused by gallstones, which cause intense abdominal pain.

Usually there won’t be any problems with your treatment but if there is, our medical negligence specialists are here to help. You can talk to someone who has the experience and knowledge to help you find out what has gone wrong and what you can do about it.

We work on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s no need to worry about costs. Plus, our specialist solicitors provide an initial free assessment of your claim.

We could not fault the service provided by the whole team at Tees. Responsive, supportive and extremely professional throughout. The success in the case and the justice achieved was what we wanted.

Surgical errors which lead to a medical negligence claim

Unfortunately, laparoscopic cholecystectomies do not always go as planned and patients can suffer from the following:

Not noting pre-operative blood tests results which indicate that there are gallstones in the bile duct
misidentification of the anatomy by the surgeon leading to injury to the bile duct, intestine, bowel, blood vessels or liver
not identifying an injury to the bile duct, intestines, bowel, blood vessels or liver during the operation and repairing it straight away
delay in identifying an injury to the bile duct, intestines, bowel, blood vessels or liver and repairing it
Incorrect placement of clips leading to bile leakage and delay in identifying and repairing this
Not giving medication, if needed, to reduce the risk of thrombo-embolism (blood clots)

How a compensation claim can help

If you have suffered physical or psychological injuries as a result of medical negligence in gallbladder surgery, you may be able to make a compensation claim.

Every case is unique, but the impact of a medical error can be emotionally and physically devastating. Compensation can cover any losses or expenses you’ve incurred as a result, such as loss of earnings, further medical treatment and therapies.
