During our client’s routine vasectomy procedure, inadequate anaesthetic was applied, resulting in the claimant being able to feel everything and he was shouting out in agony. Once further anaesthetic was applied, the surgeon proceeded with the vasectomy.
When at home later that day, the claimant’s wound began bleeding profusely and he was admitted to hospital. The wound had opened up and part of the spermatic cord had extruded. The claimant required repair surgery and was warned that he may lose a testicle.
Fortunately, the claimant’s testicle has been salvaged but his recovery period was protracted and he experienced avoidable pain during this period.
We alleged that the defendant failed to carry out the vasectomy with adequate care and skill, and we have successfully recovered compensation of £17,500 for our client.
