Endoscopic Procedure Complications: Our client underwent an endoscopic procedure that was either inappropriate for their condition or performed with substandard technique, resulting in perforation of the retroperitoneal space and serious internal injury. Retroperitoneal Perforation: The inappropriate procedure caused perforation of the retroperitoneal space, a serious complication that can lead to internal bleeding, infection, organ damage, and potentially life-threatening consequences requiring immediate intervention. Inappropriate Procedure: Expert evidence established that the endoscopic procedure was either contraindicated for our client's condition, performed using inappropriate technique, or conducted when alternative safer approaches should have been used. Surgical Standard Failures: The perforation resulted from failures in surgical technique, inadequate pre-procedure assessment, poor decision-making about procedure appropriateness, or insufficient skill in performing the endoscopic intervention. Internal Complications: The retroperitoneal perforation led to serious internal complications including bleeding, infection, inflammation, and potential damage to surrounding organs and structures in the abdominal cavity.
