Kyoto University Hospital apologized over serious malpractice: Surgery took out normal functioning brain tissue instead of targeted tumor, resulting the patient unable breath on her own
It was reported that during intraoperative microscopy, the result showed that it was no tumor twice, but the surgeon-- a 40s doctor with 20 years of experience and a hundred more successful brain surgeries on his resume-- insisted the tumor is there and proceeded took out part of patient's cerebellopontine angle. The patient, a 50s woman, is now paralyzed, unable to breath on her own and according to MRI result, still has a tumor in her brain.
