Man awarded tens of thousands of pounds by NHS after 'stent was left in his system'
A man has been awarded thousands of pounds in compensation by the NHS after a stent that 'should have been removed after a year' was 'left in his digestive system'. The patient, who has not been named, underwent surgery to remove his gall bladder at Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2017, his representatives said.
They claim the stent became embedded in the surrounding tissue of his bile duct, leading the man to experience abdominal pain, jaundice and fatigue, which left him struggling to work. He was admitted to A&E after suffering with shortness of breath.The patient then had three new stents fitted over an 18-month period, it is claimed. Doctors replaced the original stent with a fourth and final temporary stent, which was then removed, the patient's representatives said.
Solicitor Matthew Gascoyne said Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust has now paid out. The figure has not been released.
