Houston Attorneys Dedicated to Representing Patients
Laparoscopic surgery is used to avoid more invasive procedures that require opening the abdominal area, cutting into muscle, or removing certain organs. While each kind of laparoscopic surgery is unique, the basic principle involves the use of cable-like instruments to enter into targeted areas and remove or clear tissue. While there are significant advantages associated with laparoscopic surgery, there are also risks that are often caused by surgical error, infection, and general negligence. At Hampton & King, we represent people who suffer significant injuries and medical complications due to laparoscopic surgery accidents. We consult medical experts who identify mistakes that result in serious injuries while developing compelling cases for our client.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy – Negligence & Bile Duct Injuries
In order to successfully remove bile duct cysts, a surgeon must navigate through the “biliary tree” – the placement of bile ducts in and around the gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. Most laparoscopic cholecystectomy injuries occur when a surgeon cuts the common duct instead of the cystic duct. Doing so can result in complications that require delicate reconstructive surgery or even a liver transplant. In some cases, a patient’s condition worsens, leading to death. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy mistakes cause untold suffering and pain for patients. And, as indicated by numerous articles published in established medical journals, a botched laparoscopic cholecystectomy is sometimes attributable to surgeon error.
