Medical negligence
Vasectomy & Sterilisation
Vasectomy and sterilisation are common procedures. While these procedures have a high success rate, mistakes can occur resulting in pregnancy and/or injury.
What can Cause sterilisation negligence?
- A poor consent procedure/failure to advise the patient of all associated risks
- Failing to provide correct advice post-discharge (warn of risks associated with unprotected sex)
- Adopting poor or incorrect sterilisation techniques
- Failing to monitor signs of post-operative infection
- Inadequate/incorrect application of sterilisation clips – ‘filshie’ clips/filshie clip migration
