While any surgery contains risks, the only way to know for sure if these injuries were caused by negligence is to have another doctor who is an expert in this field evaluate your daughter and give you their opinion. An expert opinion is the first thing that is needed in any medical malpractice case, so if you have not already done so that's a good place to start. Once you do that then attorneys will be much more interested in talking with you about the case.
