This sounds like a good start to a med mal case. The key is securing a written opinion from a qualfied surgeon that testifies that cutting the vagus nerve is malpractice as opposed to an acceptable complication. You need to gather ALL you medical records and see if a lawyer will take the case and pay to have it reviewed by an expert. If not, you will likely need to do so and then amed with a written opinion from an expert establishing medical malpractice seek out a lawyer to pursue the claim.
