Woman awarded settlement after bladder removal error
A Maine woman received a $17 million award after a surgical error resulted in the removal of her bladder during a procedure intended to treat a benign ovarian cyst. The jury found the hospital liable for damaging her bladder, which led to permanent health issues and ongoing medical treatment, including the need for reconstructive surgery. The incident occurred during a routine gynecologic surgery, and the woman now relies on a neobladder formed from her intestine, requiring daily catheterization and repeated medical care.
