There are inherent risks in any surgical procedure, but in cases of medical negligence, a patient is harmed specifically because of a surgeon's mistake. Surgical injuries may include: operating on the wrong side or area of the body, performing a procedure incorrectly, not taking a patient's health history into consideration when choosing to perform a procedure, using improper equipment, and even leaving surgical instruments inside a patient.
