CLINICAL NEGLIGENCE LAWYERS

Vasectomy Information

As with other forms of ‘lifestyle’ surgery a vasectomy is a procedure that often gives rise to opportunities for legal action by clinical negligence lawyers and a healthcare professional who has failed in the required duty of care is fully responsible for any foreseeable losses sustained as a result of failed surgery. In addition to negligence in surgical technique there are also occasions when healthcare professionals fail to give appropriate warnings or they may fail to give medical advice about the techniques to be used or the consequences of surgery or fail to obtain adequate consent and this may also give rise to an opportunity to take legal action for compensation for any losses sustained by the patient.

Warning Of Risk?

One frequent complaint heard by clinical negligence lawyers is that a doctor made the procedure sound easy and straightforward whereas in fact there are numerous things that can go wrong and many subsequent potential problems that can result from a vasectomy that is not necessarily carried out negligently. Some doctors do not properly warn the patients as to the normal risks involved and in failing to do so they are not properly doing their job.

Pain And Discomfort

Before a patient undergoes a vasectomy he must be warned that there is a probability of pain, swelling and burning sensations along with some bruising after the operation. There is also a two percent likelihood of intractable pain for many months after the surgery.

Manual Workers

If your work involves manual labour or have a job that requires heavy lifting, you must also be warned that physical strain can cause serious problems with secondary post operative bleeding. You must be told to take several days off work after having a vasectomy.

Fertility

You must also be warned that you will remain fertile for about three or four months following a vasectomy and that suitable alternative contraception is a must for this period of time. Once an analysis of the sperm fluid has confirmed the success of the sterilisation then the secondary contraception can be stopped.
