Trust Image Guided Surgery with your Gynecologic Procedures
When your doctor tells you that you have fibroids or an ovarian cyst that may require surgery, it can be a little daunting. The risks and the recovery process that come along with surgery can often deter patients from following through if the case is not urgent. For some like Lisa-Marie Carter, a civilian military intelligence analyst, surgery to remove her ovarian cyst was recommended as part of her medical clearance for her next assignment. What should have been a routine operation with little complication, turned into a nightmare.
The OB/Gyn in Florida who performed the surgery Via Laparoscopy had mistakenly “cut through a portion of her small intestine but failed to address the damage before closing the incision.” By the time this was discovered after Carter was dealing with post-op complications, gangrene had developed and amputation was needed on both her hands and feet. Gangrene is a dead body tissue that is caused by an infection or the lack of blood flow. Symptoms include: skin discoloration, swelling, discharge, ect.
