Every year, doctors across Canada perform thousands of major gynecological procedures and surgeries. Mistakes by gynecologists can leave permanent physical and emotional scars.

Harte Law, located in Richmond Hill, Ontario, has handled hundreds of gynecological malpractice cases across Canada, including cases involving:
Injuries to either the baby and/or mother.
A failure to order or conduct appropriate tests during pregnancy that might have identified birth defects, denying the parents their right to choose to terminate the pregnancy.
The misuse of fertility medications leading to multiple births, which have a high risk of resulting in babies with cerebral palsy or other brain injuries.
Gynecology cases can arise when doctors perform unnecessary procedures; make mistakes during the surgery; or fail to identify and treat complications after the operation.
Errors during gynecologic surgery can lead to bladder and bowel damage if surgeons are not careful when handling surgical equipment and careful to identify major anatomic landmarks.
Recto-vaginal fistulas can result in bowel leakage through the vagina and may be caused by negligence during childbirth or pelvic surgery.
Like most other forms of cancer, colon, uterine, cervical, pelvic and ovarian cancer requires early detection and treatment to improve prognosis.
