General surgery
We publish case reports as an aid to MPS members, to alert them to pitfalls that have caught their colleagues unawares. We believe that these are an invaluable risk-management tool and, as such, they should be rooted in fact – i.e. based on actual events.
Here are some general surgery cases published in recent editions of Casebook.
- Video nasty
- Concerning anaemia
- False reassurance and faulty follow-up
- Warning signs
- Difficult matters of opinion and recall
- The missing belly button
- A galling omission
- No consent, no defence
- Patient was ill-informed
- Damage to hepatic ducts
- Don't stick your neck out
- Deficient investigation of iron deficiency
- Tardy surgical intervention
- Inspect before you inject
