Gall bladder removal negligence

There are 69,000 gall bladder operations in England and Wales each year. Unfortunately surgery is not always as precise or safe as we would like it to be. 

However, the Hugh James medical negligence team are on hand to help if you are unhappy with the outcome of gall bladder surgery.

Gall bladder removal problems

Gall bladder removal can lead to further injuries and follow up surgery. These often painful injuries occur as a result of your surgeon wrongly identifying or damaging parts of the anatomy.

If you have to undergo surgery to have your gall bladder removed by telescopic camera you should expect to be in hospital for 1 to 2 days, making a full recovery within 2 weeks. If you have to go through open surgery this could increase to a few days in hospital, making a full recovery within 4 weeks.

If your recovery period is longer than this and if you have had follow up surgery including the need for annual check-ups there is a good chance you have been the victim of clinical negligence.
