Urology Negligence Compensation Claims

Duncan Lewis Clinical Negligence Solicitors – No win no fee Urological Surgery Claims

“My hospital treatment for stress incontinence left me with a urinary tract infection”

Negligent urological surgery can leave patients with extremely distressing symptoms involving urinary incontinence, stress incontinence (when a person passes a small amount of urine after laughing, sneezing or coughing) – as well as sexual dysfunction or internal injuries if urological surgery goes wrong and a nearby organ is damaged.

Post-operative infection can be another cause of injury following urological surgery – urinary tract infections (UTI) can soon pass up the urethra (the tube through which urine passes out of the body) to the bladder and then to the kidneys. Genitourinary infections can be extremely painful and debilitating – and may result in permanent kidney damage if not treated with the right antibiotic or a powerful enough dose to clear the infection.

Patient undergoing urological treatment may have a range of conditions requiring surgical procedures – including colposuspension or TVT (Tension-free Vaginal Tape) procedures for stress incontinence, or operations involving the kidneys (nephrectomy), bladder, urinary tract, or reproductive organs.

Duncan Lewis clinical negligence solicitors can advise urological surgery patients who have suffered injury as a result on how to make no win no fee compensation claims, including claims relating to:

• Allergies (eg allergies to latex catheters)
• Anaesthetic mistakes or errors
• Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (UTI)
• Cauterisation errors
• Failure to take X-rays and scans
• Failure to respond to patient complications
• Hospital-acquired infection or wound infections
• Laparoscopic surgery negligence (eg perforated bowel)
• Misdiagnosis of urological conditions
• Poor patient monitoring during surgery (eg oxygen monitoring)
• Pre-operative patient evaluation errors
• Negligent urological surgery (eg wrong kidney removed, injuries to other organs)
• Negligent reproductive surgery (eg vasectomy, prostatectomy, TVT, Caesarean section)
• Renal kidney cyst ablation errors
• Urinary catheter injuries to bladder/kidneys, including death.

Duncan Lewis can also advise on claims for poor post-operative urological care, including bleeding and pain on removing a catheter – or poor observation of urinary retention or bladder obstructions in patients, leading to injury.
