The plaintiff suffered permanent, debilitating injuries as a result of complications following a routine outpatient gynecologic procedure. These complications include uterine perforation, avulsion of the right iliac artery and vein, transection of the right ureter, and hypotension, resulting in multiple organ dysfunction, including respiratory failure, renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Emergency surgery was performed at a different hospital. The patient remained comatose for several weeks. She underwent additional abdominal surgery and catheter placement. She required kidney dialysis and, ultimately, a kidney transplant.
Outcome:
A settlement was reached pre-suit. The terms of the settlement are protected by a confidentiality agreement
