Have you lost a loved one due to their robotic-assisted surgery?
Several complications have been reported over the years by people who had a hysterectomy or other gynecological or urological surgery using the da Vinci robotic surgery system. The manufacturer of the device, Intuitive Surgery, Inc., advertises its product as safe. Having a near monopoly on the market, surgeons have no other choice other than to support the company. However, reports of bowel eviscerations, burning of the tissues, vaginal cuff dehiscence, and other robotic surgery injuries are fairly common. If serious enough, these injuries can even lead to death.
If you believe you have a claim, our firm is ready to listen. Call us at (212) 684-1880 today.
The da Vinci medical robot uses high-heat electricity to cut and cauterize tissues. Failure to carefully control the machine can result in damage to the tissue surrounding the surgery site. These injuries may go unnoticed until days after the surgery as well as when potentially fatal complications arise. In these instances, doctors may be held liable for the wrongful death of a patient due to careless operation of the robot.
In other instances, it may be more appropriate to file suit against the manufacturer under a product liability claim. When the arms of the surgical robot lack proper insulation, electricity can escape, causing burns and other injuries to the surrounding tissues.
