Gynaecology cases

If you have suffered as a result of negligent gynaecological treatment or negligent care during pregnancy or child birth, you may be able to make a medical negligence compensation claim.

Obstetrics is the branch of medicine which deals with pregnancy and the birth of babies. Gynaecology is the branch of medicine which deals with women’s diseases, particularly of the reproductive organs. These two areas together account for many of the medical negligence claims pursued in the UK each year.

Some of the areas giving rise to compensation claims include:

• Injury following surgery or laparoscopy
•  Delay in diagnosis of pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy
• Delay in diagnosis of obstetric cholestasis
• Illnesses caused by contraception
• Complications or failure of abortion
• Sterilisation caused by introduction of infection
• Failure of sterilisation or vasectomy leading to wrongful birth or abortion
• Failure to diagnose cervical cancer
