Robotic Surgery
Side Effects

The Robotic surgery lawyers at Nadrich & Cohen are actively investigating robotic surgery side effect claims in all 50 states.

We are investigating the increasing number of side effects occurring from robotic surgery. These Robotic surgical systems (RSS) occur when the surgeon sits at a site remote from the patient and directs the robotic arms to perform the actual surgery. These side effects include tears, burns, openings or ruptures of surrounding organs, infections and fistulas - all from the Robotic surgery process.

In the last five years, the number of robotic surgeries has grown immensely for minimally invasive gynecological, heart and prostate surgeries and other types of common procedures. To date, almost 1 million people were operated on using robotic systems, 350,000 in 2011 alone.

The purpose of the surgical device is to minimize the risk of side effects by utilizing robotic surgical procedures which are supposed to cause a smaller incision, be more precise and result in less pain with shorter hospital stays.

We believe the side effects are due to the lack of the correct focus of the Mono-Polar energy which is used by the Robotic device to cut through and cauterize the tissue at the surgery site. We believe the electrical current from the robotic can spark to cause serious injuries surrounding the surgical location.

We believe there may be an additional problem of inadequate surgical training for the surgeons performing the robotic procedures. Medical professionals have indicated it could take at least 200 and up to 700 robotic - assisted surgeries for a surgeon to become highly proficient.

Please contact one of our intake specialists at 1-800-718-4658, if you or your loved one suffered side effects from a robotic surgical procedure. Since we are contingency lawyers, there is never a charge to you unless we first obtain a recovery.

February 28th, 2013.

The FDA announced on February 28th, 2013 that it is conducting a review of surgeons at certain hospitals for them to list any surgical side effects or complications which may have occurred as a result of the use of the robotic surgery systems.

Robotic surgery has generated an excess of $2.2 billion in annual revenue for certain corporations.

The United States Food And Drug Administration is seeking to investigate whether the adverse incident reports received by the agency are connected to either the robotic surgery mechanism itself.

The FDA plans to send questionnaires to hospitals as a survey to members of its medical product safety network.

Reported complications include damage to ureters and bowels as well as instances when the instruments break off and fall into the patient. There have also been reports and we have many clients with side effects including burns to adjacent organs and vessels and damage to bladders, urethra and bowels.

If you or a loved one suffered a side effect during the roboitic surgery procedure please contact us at 1-800-718-4658 for a free consultation.

Our National Robotic Surgery group has over 1,000 cases of side effect victims that we either represent or are currently investigating against the manufacturers of the robotic surgery device.
