The consent form that you signed probably listed damage to organs as a risk of the procedure you had.  However, just listing it there doesn't mean that you received care that meets the appropriate standard.  In addition, if you had symptoms and signs of the damage and they were not acted on by a physician appropriately you may have a cause of action for the delay in treatment if you have sustained permanent damages.  You will need to gather your records and take them to a local lawyer or let a lawyer gather them for you.
