A man in Ireland had surgery on the wrong testicle, one of four confirmed wrong-site surgeries in Irish hospitals from 2024 to 2025.
A patient in Ireland underwent surgery on the wrong testicle, one of four confirmed wrong-site surgeries in Irish acute hospitals between 2024 and 2025, including errors on limbs, lungs, teeth, and reproductive organs.
The Health Service Executive (HSE) called the low number of incidents "encouraging" and emphasized mandatory reporting for safety improvements, but patient advocates condemned the errors as preventable "never events" that undermine trust, urging a public review of surgical safety protocols.
Past cases have led to over €6 million in settlements since 2016, and the HSE does not include near-misses in its data.
