Gastric sleeve complications failuse to diagnose a stomach leak

It is difficult to tell you whether you have a viable medical malpractice case without looking at the records. It is possible for surgical staples to reopen and cause leakage which is generally considered accepted complications of procedure. The liver injury, however, seems to be outside the scope of that complication. The subsequent finding of a hole in the stomach and spleen could be consistent with a surgical error or part and parcel of and abscess/infection. It sounds like you were diagnosed with an infection shortly after the surgery because you were put on antibiotics for two months after you were diagnosed the liver injury. Finally, the fact that your doctor lost operating privileges at the hospital 2 to 3 weeks after your surgery is obviously cause for concern. To know whether you have a malpractice case, attorney will have to obtain and review your medical records.  Below are some articles you may find helpful.  They are written for a New Jersey audience (where I practice) but the ideas discussed in these articles usually apply in most other jurisdictions as well.
