Great Ormond Street ‘rogue’ surgeon left 22 kids with life-changing injuries

Описание: Great Ormond Street Hospital said it was “incredibly sorry” after launching an urgent review into the cases of 721 children treated by the same surgeon in London.
Patients suffered life-changing injuries including amputations, permanent deformities and chronic pain, the Sunday Times reports.
Former consultant surgeon Yaser Jabbar, 43, who worked in its orthopaedic department, has been described by colleagues as “cavalier” and “blasé”.
At least 22 children who underwent limb reconstruction surgery are known to have been harmed, according to a leaked report on the scandal by the Royal College of Surgeons.

A spokesman for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children told the Standard: “As part of the review, the RCS raised concerns around the practice of a surgeon who no longer works at the Trust, and other practice within the service. We are taking these concerns incredibly seriously.

“We have contacted all patients of the surgeon and a group of independent experts from other paediatric hospitals are reviewing the care of all the patients of this surgeon. We are incredibly sorry for the worry and uncertainty this review may cause them."
