Did You Suffer a Punctured Organ During a D & C Exam?
D&C exams are among the common procedures used to diagnose and treat uterine bleeding and other health conditions. Dilation and Curettage is one of the most important exams to detect the possible presence of uterine cancer.
During the exam, the ob-gyn specialist or nurse must take precise measurements of the depth of the uterus in order to determine how deep the 'sound' instrument can be inserted without puncturing the organ walls. Piercing the uterine walls will cause bleeding and seepage of fluids, requiring a surgical procedure to repair the damaged endometrial lining. In some cases, infections can result and cause serious and permanent damage. Often, however, the doctor makes assumptions and takes shortcuts that lead to needless injuries and medical harm.
We are proud to say that we are the law firm that recovered the highest medical malpractice jury award for a punctured organ case in Passaic County.
