What can go wrong during gall bladder surgery?

Occasionally, when the gallbladder is removed, a surgeon may damage the bile duct. Damage can be caused by a cut, burn or pinch.

There are other risks associated with gall bladder removal surgery, including:

• allergic reaction to anaesthesia or other drugs
• excessive bleeding
• blood clots
• damage to blood vessels
• heart problems, such as rapid heart rate
• infection
• injury to the bile duct or small intestine
• pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas

How to claim compensation for a bile duct injury

Damage to the gall bladder during what should be a routine operation is becoming increasingly common. Even when cases are robustly contested by the surgeon’s defence, our team of medical negligence experts will confidently represent you so that justice is achieved.

We work closely with medical professionals to prove negligence and carefully document the long-term prognosis so we can ensure the compensation awarded takes everything into account and is at the maximum level possible.
