Wrong patient surgery is not as common as wrong site surgery, but there are cases reported for wrong patient surgery too. It has happened that a patient is subjected to a surgery that is not required for it. Thus, the patient has to suffer from all the complications that accompanies surgery and the lasting negative consequences.

Wrong patient surgery

The doctors may sometimes happen to use unsanitary surgical instruments during surgery which may lead to cross-contamination of disease. The results can be deadly if the patient is already suffering from a weak immune system. Surgical instruments can be left inside the body after incisions have been sutured which can lead to serious complications and infection.

Contaminated surgical instruments

During the surgery of a particular organ, the neighboring organ can penetrate with a scalpel, scissor or laser. Organ tissues are delicate and it can lead to severe and lasting health issues.
