Was a foreign object left in you after a surgical procedure? You have a right to seek legal counsel.

Few people are aware of how common it is for a surgeon to leave a foreign object like a sponge, gauze, needle or even a surgical instrument or towel inside the patient after a procedure.

This shocking surgical error can be catastrophic, leading to life threatening infections, bowel perforations, organ damage, and severe pain.

Such cases require a comprehensive understanding of operating room procedures and the various roles of the surgeons and surgical nursing staff.

The medical malpractice attorneys of Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. have successfully handled many cases involving foreign objects left in patients during surgery.

In such cases, the patient required further surgery, experienced lengthy recuperation and incurred significant medical expenses.
