£9,500 for failure to remove appendix

Date: 23 November 2011

Julie Crossley, a medical injury specialist at Ashton KCJ, has obtained a settlement for a man who had to undergo a second operation because surgeons failed to remove his appendix the first time round.

Mr D, from Norfolk, was diagnosed with appendicitis and admitted to hospital for surgery. His pain reduced and he was discharged a few days later. However, at a review appointment around six weeks later it became clear that he still had his appendix and what had actually been removed was probably just infected tissue. He was put on a waiting list for a second operation but before getting an appointment his pain returned and he was admitted for emergency surgery. This time the appendix was removed successfully.
