Medical blunder cost woman her spleen in operation at Hong Kong private hospital.

A woman lost her spleen during a botched operation intended to remove a kidney at a Hong Kong private hospital.

The patient was discharged on April 16. Details of the hospital’s follow-up treatment and the woman’s condition were not disclosed. The spokesman for the hospital said the doctor’s admission rights and privileges for the establishment had been suspended. A department spokesman said there was no evidence to show the private hospital had offended the Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Maternity Homes Registration Ordinance in its conditions relating to accommodation, staffing and equipment; nor did it fail to meet the Code of Practice for Private Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Maternity Homes, according to the information submitted by the hospital.

And he could not understand how such a mistake might have occurred in a non-urgent surgery with plenty of preoperative preparations.
