Doctor Screw Up
Posted: 03-26-05 01:03am
|
|
|

I am 1 week complete hysterectomy, when I
decided to do this it was suppose to be a
partial unless they found something wrong
with the overies. The morning after
sugery the dr tells me that he mistakenly
clipped the tube in the wrong place and
had to inadvertantly remove the overies,
not just 1 but both for whatever reason
(there was nothing wrong with them) he
tried to pass it off as a good thing and
now I dont have to worry about ovarian
cancer, but now have to consider hrt. I
am really upset by this fact and dont know
if I should just consider a good thing and
go on or should I confront the dr about
the mistake he made.

I had all of my fallopian tube removed on
both sides. The doctor cut as close as
she could to the ovaries without actually
cutting into them-the same for the uterus
side. I still have my ovaries and
uterus. I don't see how cutting the tube
in the wrong place warrants removal of the
ovary. I would consult another gyn for
their opinion on the subject. I think
you will be able to yell at your doctor.
Let me know if I have been of help to you.

This surgeon messed up! I would ask for
a copy of my surgical report and have an
attorney that handles malpractice to look
at it. I have done hundreds of hysts and
salpingoopherectomies, and the excuse he
gave you is bogus. Sorry :(

I forgot to tell you that just because he
removed your ovaries doesn't mean you
aren't at risk for ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer can appear on the tissue
that surrounded the ovaries. That is why
you still have pap smears after a
hysterectomy.

Ummm actually pap smears have nothing to
do with ovarian cancer.
You only need to have pap smears after a
hysterectomy if you kept your cervix.
Paps check for cervical cancer and without a
cervix there is no risk of cervical
cancer.
Ovarian cancer will only occur in the
ovaries. You might get a cancer in the
surrounding tissues but it will not be
ovarian cancer.
Please ladies only post from your
experience - no-one can say without a full
investigation that your doctor did screw
up but can say it sounds like he did.
No matter how experienced someone here
says they are you should always follow up
any advice with your own doctor

Thanks for the replies they have been a
great help but ....Cervix...What cervix,
the dr decided when he accidently cut the
tubes to close and remove the overies that
he may as well remove the cervix as well.
I am consulting with an attorney as I
spoke to my prior ob/gyn and he strongly
recommends against hrt due to high family
rate of heart disease and breast cancer
and that for a bladder tac he cant see
removing anything other than possible the
uterus.

Or was it a birth control thing??

Sounds like that doctor just pulled a fast
one on you. Now, instead of billing for
the hysterectomy, he can bill for the bso.
More money for him now.

Pap After Cervical Cancer

I believe that after cervical cancer, it
is standard procedure to still get pap
smears, even if you've had a hysterectomy.

Hi i'm new here, I would really question
exploratory surgery if it were me. There
must be other ways of diagnosis. I don't
know much about it but i'd google around
the internet for days & read as much
as I could before allowing this. If you
want to go alternative then read up on
bio-resonance. The machine can test every
organ in the body by looking at the
quantum energy around the body, it depends
what you believe I suppose but I had it
done once and it picked up everything that
was right for me & I had not told the
health practitioner anything beforehand.

i had my hysterectomy almost six years
ago. I was left with just my tubes and
ovaries, women are still in need of paps
after this procedure
just not as often as women that are
normal. You are right she should follow
up with a doctor.
