Surgeon removes wrong part of cancer patient's lung, sparking concerns over hospital transparency.
Cancer patient Ian Tollemache is still seeking answers after a 2020 surgery where a surgeon mistakenly removed the wrong part of his lung.
The Health and Disability Commissioner found the doctor in breach of several codes, including not providing informed consent before corrective surgery.
The surgeon claimed the error was due to the lung rotating without detection, but this is reportedly the first case of its kind.
Despite an internal review, Tollemache remains concerned about the lack of improvements and transparency from the hospital.
