Performing an incorrect surgery can be grounds for New York medical malpractice claim, particularly if this made the patient’s condition worse or led to new problems. In an analysis made last year in the journal Patient Safety in Surgery, it was shown that 46 to 65 percent of adverse incidents in hospitals are surgery-related. As reported in the New York Post, the urologist who performed the surgery in the year 2012 relied only on memory to determine which kidney to remove, since he didn’t have the patient’s complete medical records. As result of this mishap, the urologist was placed under probation and had to undergo wrong-site surgery course, while the patient had another surgery to remove the diseased kidney.
