Unfortunately, even a minimally invasive surgery can have tragic outcomes if medical negligence is involved.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, a jury awarded $3 million to the husband of a woman who passed away in another state. The woman had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst in 2009. Just two days later, she passed away. According to a news report, the woman\u2019s bowel was pierced during the surgery. The medical malpractice claim said <a href=\"http:\/\/legal.blog.ajc.com\/2016\/01\/26\/dekalb-jury-awards-3-million-in-medical-malpractice-case\/\" target=\"_blank\">the surgeon failed to check the woman\u2019s bowel for cuts<\/a>, and that he also mishandled the woman\u2019s complaints after the surgery.<\/p>\n<p>According to the physician\u2019s lawyer, the jury felt he did a good job on the surgery but should have told the woman to head to the emergency room \u201cmore urgently\u201d after she started belching. The jury held the clinic and the doctor who did the surgery accountable for the incident. Two other defendants were not found to be at fault in this case.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/minimally-invasive-surgery-leads-to-womans-death\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Minimally invasive surgery leads to woman\u2019s death\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is some risk associated with undergoing just about any surgery.
