Robotic surgery has come a long way since 1985 when the first robot was used to place a needle for a brain biopsy using CT guidance.
Today, more than 800 hospitals in the U.S. and Europe use the highly advanced da Vinci surgical system, and a host of other systems, to perform everything from hysterectomies to mitral valve repairs.
However, like any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, and a botched surgery can lead to serious life-long complications or even death. Because robotic surgical systems (RSS) are so new, doctors, hospitals, and even the FDA are still trying to assess those risks. (more…)

Cosmetic/Plastic surgery is gaining in popularity; however, one surgical mistake during cosmetic or plastic surgery can lead to disfigurement, permanent injury, and even death.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported the following plastic and cosmetic surgery statistics:
There was a 7% increase in plastic surgeries between 2010 and 2011
Over 5.6 million Botox injections were administered
243,772 people had plastic surgery on the nose (Rhinoplasty)
204,702 people had liposuction
307,180 breast augmentation surgeries were performed
Litigation concerning mortgage-backed securities (MBS) is heating up in 2012, as the courts are denying many of the defendants’ motions to dismiss. This is leading to a long and involved discovery process, as both sides will have to examine the mortgage loans underlying the securitizations in great detail.
Typically, the complains in these lawsuits allege:
The mortgage loan originator did not follow its underwriting guidelines or industry standards
Appraisals were artificially increased and did not follow industry appraisal standards, resulting in incorrect loan-to-value percentages.
During securitization, the due diligence process of reviewing mortgages for inclusion in the MBS was flawed or ignored.
Mortgage terms were modified by servicing organizations and these new terms were not in the best interests of the investors of the MBS.
In a recent study of more than 800 clinically coded obstetrical medical malpractice cases analyzed, 77% cited errors in clinical judgment. The report identifies that the next most prevalent areas of causation were miscommunication, technical errors, inadequate documentation, administrative failures and ineffective supervision.
Choosing the right expert witness can make or break your case. Even if your case isn’t going to trial, a credible expert witness can be the key to settling in your client’s favor. Your brilliant theory about how an accident happened holds no water if you can’t back it up with the support of an accident reconstruction expert. Your client’s claim regarding injuries suffered have little validity without confirmation from a medical expert witness.
Burns result from electrocution, defective household products, home appliances, automobiles and even faulty smoke detectors. Half of all burn injuries could have been prevented. Each year in the United States 2 million people suffer burns. A burn injury expert witness can be valuable to help you prove negligence in your case as over 6,000 die from their injuries.
The debilitating aspect of burn injuries is the severity. Burns range from first degree (only the top layer of skin, the epidermis, is burned), second degree (the second layer of skin is also burned, resulting in blisters and painful swelling), third degree (damages and permanently destroys deeper tissues) and fourth degree (destroying skin, fat, muscle, and sometimes bone.)
Severity of a burn injury is based on:
Degree (depth)
Size (percentage of the skin affected)
Age of the injured person
Location of the burn on the body
Not only can severe burns result in permanent disability, they also carry a risk of infection. For many burn victims, long-term rehabilitation is crucial to the healing process. This can include physical therapy, occupational therapy, or even speech-language pathology.
