Every surgery carries risk, and a difficult outcome is not automatically evidence of negligence. When a serious injury follows surgery and the explanation remains unclear, the operative record, timeline, and follow-up care may help identify the questions that need review.

Records that can help explain the sequence of care
- Pre-operative discussions and consent materials
- Operative and anesthesia records
- Nursing notes and monitoring records
- Discharge instructions and follow-up documentation
