Legally Speaking: Was this myomectomy botched?

The patient, a 43 year-old African-American woman, was referred to the defendant obstetrician/gynecologist in July 1998 for surgical management of menorrhagia that resulted from a fibroid uterus. Her past medical history was significant for development of fibroids as early as 1983. In 1994, she underwent myomectomy and left-sided salpingo-oophorectomy (LSO), but 6 months later, her symptoms, including heavy bleeding and pain, returned.

Newer, minimally invasive techniques build on our previous success with the well-described abdominal and vaginal procedures.

In my experience, doing transcervical occlusion and endometrial ablation together, on an outpatient basis, has benefits for both patient and physician.
