Surgical Malpractice

Surgery Abroad: Opportunity and Risk


Each year, thousands of UK residents travel to Turkey for planned surgical procedures. From orthopaedic operations and bariatric surgery to organ-related interventions and cosmetic surgeries, the country has become a hub for affordable, modern, and fast access to healthcare.

For many UK patients abroad, these procedures represent hope and transformation. However, surgery is never risk-free. When carried out in unfamiliar healthcare systems, patients may face hidden dangers: unqualified surgeons, insufficient aftercare, or surgical malpractice in Turkey.

At Londonwise Ltd, we specialise in protecting patients who suffer harm due to negligence during surgery abroad. Our mission is to ensure you receive justice, compensation, and professional support every step of the way.

Understanding Surgical Malpractice

Surgical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of surgical care, causing harm to the patient. In the context of medical tourism in Turkey, this may include:

  • Wrong-site surgery.

  • Anaesthesia errors.

  • Post-surgical infections due to poor sterilisation.

  • Use of defective medical devices.

  • Failure to monitor recovery or provide aftercare.

For patients travelling from the UK, these issues are compounded by language barriers, lack of transparency, and difficulty accessing follow-up care once they return home.

Why UK Patients Choose Surgery in Turkey

Turkey has gained a global reputation for offering advanced surgical procedures at competitive prices. The appeal includes:

  • Lower Costs – Surgery abroad often costs 50–70% less than in the UK.

  • Modern Facilities – Many hospitals are equipped with the latest      technology.

  • No Waiting Lists – Immediate access compared to NHS delays.

  • All-Inclusive Packages – Clinics often offer travel and accommodation with treatment.

Yet, behind the polished marketing, there are risks of surgical negligence that patients should not overlook.

Risks of Surgery Abroad

While many Turkish hospitals provide excellent care, others expose patients to unnecessary danger. Common risks include:

  • Unqualified Surgeons – Non-specialists performing complex      surgeries.

  • Overbooked Clinics – High patient volumes leading to rushed      care.

  • Language Misunderstandings – Risks not fully explained in English.

  • Counterfeit Medical Devices – Unsafe implants or surgical tools.

  • Lack of Continuity of Care – Patients discharged early and left without monitoring.

These risks emphasise the importance of professional legal support for surgery claims when things go wrong.

Common Types of Surgery Cases We Handle

At Londonwise Ltd, we assist patients who have experienced harm during a wide range of surgical procedures, including:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery – Hip or knee replacements gone wrong.

  • Bariatric Surgery – Complications from gastric sleeve or bypass.

  • General Surgery – Errors in gallbladder, appendix, or hernia operations.

  • Cosmetic Surgery – Breast augmentations, facelifts, liposuction.

  • Dental Surgery – Poorly executed implant or jaw procedures.

  • Organ-Related Surgery – Negligence in more complex operations.

Each of these cases can result in severe pain, extended recovery, and long-term complications.

Challenges Faced by UK Patients After Surgery in Turkey

The aftermath of surgery abroad often leaves patients struggling with:

  • Financial Burden – Corrective surgeries in the UK are extremely costly.

  • Physical Pain – Long-term health complications reduce quality of life.

  • Emotional Trauma – Anxiety, depression, or loss of confidence.

  • Legal Barriers – Filing a case in Turkey requires local legal knowledge.

Without guidance, many patients abandon claims, allowing negligent providers to avoid accountability.

Compensation for Surgical Negligence

A successful compensation claim for surgical malpractice may cover:

  • Medical Expenses – Corrective surgeries, hospitalisation, and rehabilitation.

  • Travel Costs – Return trips for treatment and medical support.

  • Loss of Income – Wages lost due to extended recovery.

  • Pain and Suffering – Damages for physical and psychological harm.

  • Long-Term Support – Costs of permanent disability or ongoing care.

Compensation restores financial stability and holds negligent providers accountable.

Case Study Example (Anonymized)

A UK patient travelled to Turkey for bariatric surgery. The clinic promised experienced surgeons, but the procedure was rushed, leading to internal bleeding and long-term complications. The patient required emergency corrective surgery back in the UK, costing over £25,000.

Through Londonwise Ltd, a surgery malpractice claim in Turkey was filed. With medical expert support, negligence was proven, and compensation was awarded for corrective costs, emotional trauma, and lost wages.
