Causes Of Surgical Errors<\/h2>\n

There are a variety of reasons why surgical errors occur. In some cases, a surgeon is inexperienced or incompetent, while other times, the surgical team was ill-prepared for surgery, or there was a communication error between the operating surgeon and his or her surgical nurses.<\/p>\n

A surgeon may take shortcuts, or they may fail to have the proper surgical equipment on hand. Other causes include fatigue on behalf of the surgeon, which is very common and incredibly dangerous.<\/p>\n

Surgeons can even turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with the stress of their jobs, and while it may be shocking, some surgeons do operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.<\/p>\n
