A 17-year-old sports student with left femoral chondroma and a small amount of fluid in his left knee joint was mistakenly cut in his right knee by the doctor, and the chief surgeon (department director) was removed!
The head of a family in Baise, Guangxi, reported that his child was mistakenly cut off the right knee tissue in the local No. 1 and tertiary hospitals. The news is a cause for concern. Originally, it was to remove the left knee chondroma, but the operation record was "excision of the distal right femur mass". It's a bit of a slippery plan, left and right.
Judging from the parents' reactions, they went to a local tertiary hospital, and from the report, the operation was operated by the director of the department himself, which is really unimaginable, a tertiary hospital, should have a set of strict surgical procedures, preoperative examination, does the patient not draw the position before the operation, and the anesthesiologist does not contact the patient in advance and does not conduct risk assessment? Operating room nurses, assistant doctors, etc., as long as there is an inspection, the above problems will not occur.
But what's even more ridiculous is that after the surgical incision, the surgical excision was actually carried out, which is incredible, I don't know what the doctor resected, whether there is a lesion, can't I see clearly, or the doctor doesn't understand at all, thinking that the soft tissue is a bone tumor, and if it's wrong, it's wrong to the end! After the incision, is there a "tumor" that cannot be seen? I can't see if there is a lesion, is this a doctor? It is difficult to convince the public only to be dismissed! To be able to be the director of the department, the technical normality is absolutely first-class, the preoperative preparation work is normal to be very meticulous, clear in the chest, the operation enters, and the normal joint tissue is seen, for the director level, the normal can also react to the error at the first time. This layer by layer is lost, and the lacquer joint tissue is cut by mistake, unless the subjective paralysis is careless, and the operation is not taken seriously, but it is a pity that this student, it is always the patient who is hurt.
From the child's postoperative photos, it can be seen that there are postoperative suture marks on the right knee, while the lump in the left knee is visible to the naked eye, and the bone has obvious protrusion.
Although the doctor was dismissed, the damage left behind is permanent, and the patient will be hurt for a lifetime, but with a little sense of responsibility and a strict work process, this kind of mistaken surgical site will not happen.
