In order to prove a medical malpractice case, a claimant must prove a failure to conform to accepted practice, resulting in an injury. Expert testimony from a physician is required. It could be that the consequence you describe is one of the inherent risks in such a surgery; in other words, suppose that out of a thousand such surgeries, 25 of the patients end up the way you did, no matter how careful the dr was. You might just happen to be one of the 25. Or, it could be that the dr did do something wrong, such as inserting a probe too far or doing something too fast or failing to take some standard precaution, but that's why you would need an expert to review all the records and give you a report. This will run several thousand dollars.
