Retired Postman's Benign Lump Led to Major Surgery
30 May
Summary
- Patient underwent surgery for a suspected cancerous tumor.
- Doctors later found the removed lump was benign.
- The patient is now suing the hospital for the procedure.
A former postman has initiated legal action against the Royal Marsden hospital following a major surgery. He was operated on for a suspected cancerous mass on his pancreas, which surgeons at the south-west London oncology facility believed required removal.
Using keyhole surgery, medical professionals removed the lump. Post-operative analysis revealed that the discovered mass was, in fact, benign. This discovery has prompted the patient to sue the hospital, alleging the consequences of an unnecessary surgical intervention.
