A Peoria County jury returned a verdict on Friday and found Dr. Mark Holterman, a pediatric surgeon at OSF Children's Hospital in Peoria, was negligent as a surgeon regarding his treatment of the infantA central Illinois jury found a pediatric surgeon acted negligently in his treatment of a baby more than a decade ago and awarded the now-teenager more than $2 million, according to the law firm representing the teenager and her family.
The surgeon caused a two-centimeter tear in the infant's esophagus by doing so, the law firm alleged. He used a leftover adult airway stent to try and cover the tear, but dropped it in her stomach, where the stent remained for 11 months, according to the law firm. According to the attorneys, the stent had never been approved for use in a baby's esophagus, which the girl's parents weren't aware of.
