Urology Negligence Claims, Northern Ireland
What is urology?
Urology is the field of medicine relating to the urinary tract and the male genital organs. It includes healthcare and treatments relating to the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra and
male reproductive organs. It is a surgical specialty but also relates to the management of conditions relating to each of those organs.
What is urology negligence?
Urology negligence is when the level of care you receive falls short of the professional standards you should expect from a healthcare professional. When you endure pain or hardship as a result of negligent urological treatment, you’re entitled to claim urology negligence compensation.
The recent urology recall in Northern Ireland is an example of when urological negligence can lead to compensation claims. Failings in urology care across Northern Ireland, and particularly at hospitals in the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, were uncovered during an investigation. This has led to hundreds of patients being recalled for urology treatment.
The Northern Ireland urology recall centred on patients who were under the care of consultant urologist Dr Aidan O’Brien. If you were recalled for urology treatment or if you believe the treatment you received was negligent, please get in touch for a free, no-obligation consultation.
Types of Urology Negligence Compensation Claims
Various forms of urology negligence can result in a compensation claim, such as:
- Surgical errors resulting in incontinence, damage to organs, nerve damage or impotence
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of kidney, bladder, prostate or testicular cancer
- Delayed diagnosis of renal disease
- Mismanagement of kidney failure
- Failed vasectomy
- Failing to diagnose or treat kidney stones
- Infection caused by inadequate post-surgical care
