Woman's right fallopian tube removed without informed consent, Health and Disability Commission finds.
A woman's rights were violated when her right fallopian tube was removed during surgery without proper informed consent. The Health and Disability Commission found that she was not adequately informed about the procedure's risks and impact on her fertility. Recommendations included a formal apology from the surgeon, completion of training on informed consent, and an audit of Health NZ's compliance with consent policies.
