New York Spinal Surgery-Unrecognized Nerve Injury

http://www.oginski-law.com

Listen in as Gerry Oginski, an experienced New York medical malpractice trial lawyer explains what happened when a woman’s complaints of nerve injury went undiagnosed leading to significant neurological injury.

A woman had spinal surgery and a few days later developed tingling, numbness and pain in her hands, legs and toes. Calls to the doctor’s office told the patient to stay at home until a hospital bed was available.

When the woman’s condition worsened, she arrived at the hospital admitting office, as instructed, and waited 5 hours before being seen by a doctor. Then the doctor took a CAT scan- which was the wrong test to evaluate her condition.

The correct imaging test was done a day later, further delaying the correct diagnosis and treatment. When the correct diagnosis was actually made, the neurosurgeon delayed another 8-10 hours before taking the patient to the operating room.

Watch the video to find out what happened.

The hospitals in India are coupled with state of the art technology and surgeons having wide experience in pediatric spinal surgery. A spinal fusion is simply the uniting of two bony segments, whether a fracture or a vertebral joint. The patient is positioned on the operating table in a prone position. When indicated, soft tissue and bony decompression are performed to relieve neurological compression. The incision is made over the anatomic position of the spinous process. For a degenerative spondylolisthesis case, a blunt probe is inserted through the pedicle and into the vertebral body. Once the pedicle canals are prepared and the screw length determined, the screws are sequentially inserted. The facet joint capsules are removed and cancellous bone graft is placed into each facet joint. The transverse processes, sacral alae, and the lateral walls of the facet joints are decorticated with high-speed burs and curettes. Corticocancellous bone graft taken from the iliac crest, along with any fragments of bone taken during decompression is firmly pressed into the bone fusion bed. Once the construct has been assembled, segmental distraction and compression may be carved out. The surgical and anesthesia logical team required for the pediatric spinal surgery is available in India.
