Man’s leg amputated after YCMH surgeon’s blunder

Botched varicose veins surgery by YCMH doctors leaves 32-year-old farmer disabled for life
Balasaheb Haribhau Dendge, 32, of Gotimala in Shirur taluka lost his right leg when the doctors operating on him for varicose veins accidentally severed the main artery. This incident occurred at Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital (YCMH) on September 16, 2015. The concerned surgeon and his team however, did not inform his family about the accident during surgery. Dendge’s right leg was affected by gangrene over the course of the next five days, owing to which his leg was amputated above the knee.
