Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery Errors
Persons who suffer from severe allergies, sinus infections, and difficulty breathing often consult medical professionals known as Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialists. If airways are constricted or otherwise blocked, the specialist may recommend that the patient undergo surgery to remove the obstruction or problem area.
Surgical operations performed on vital airways may be very risky for the patient. Surgeons should make sure to perform such procedures with the utmost caution to prevent mistakes or injury to the patient. If a person is injured or dies as a result of a surgical error, the performing surgeon may be held responsible for the injuries suffered.

Surgical Errors
Errors that can occur during ear, nose, and throat surgeries include:
- Wrong-site surgery on the incorrect ear or nostril
- Failure to properly administer anesthesia to the patient before surgery
- Removal of incorrect tissue or too much tissue
- Early removal of breathing tubes causing the airways to collapse
- Cuts or lacerations due to improper use of medical instruments
If a person suffers injury during a routine medical procedure, he or she may be eligible for compensation for pain, suffering, and medical expenses incurred due to the injury.
