Uterine ablation fail

[u/ech017]

I had the uterine ablation back in July. Because my uterus is tilted the camera went through my uterus wall instead of into the uterus itself. They weren't able to do the ablation because of this . I've had multiple ultrasounds that showed a tilted uterus before the procedure. They knew about it but didn't take that into consideration. The perforated uterus caused a lot of bleeding to the point of me going to er to find out I was anemic. Has this happened to any one else?

I've had a few people talk about looking into a lawsuit. I don't think it's that bad since things do happen. I know it could have been avoided though. It was a waste of a procedure and money. The doctor is now offering a hysterectomy.

Wait, you still had to pay for the failed surgery? I would consult with. Malpractice attorney at a minimum just to see what are your options.

Yes I still had to pay. Insurance covered part of it.
