The Prosecutor's Office has requested the indictment for manslaughter of two doctors of theFatebenefratelli Hospital of Benevento for the death of a 52-year-old woman after gastric bypass surgery.
She had undergone surgery to implant a gastric bypass that could have allowed her to lose weight. Instead, after three more surgeries to remedy the complications that arose after the first, Silvana B, a 52 year old from Sant'Agata dei Goti, she's dead.
The family members have asked the judiciary to reconstruct the chain of medical errors that led to the woman's death on February 8. About twenty doctors and nurses are being investigated for having assisted Silvana B. first in the Fatebenefratelli hospital in Benevento, where the first operation took place, then in the hospitals of Sant'Agata dei Goti and finally in Mercato San Severino, in the province of Salerno, where the woman later died due to the collapse of several organs, following several septicemias and an intestinal obstruction.
The Nocera Inferiore prosecutor's office, which acquired the expert reports of the forensic medical consultants, has excluded liability on the part of 18 doctors and nurses, but has notified the notice of conclusion of investigations to two doctors working at the Fatebenefratelli who were the first to perform the gastric bypass surgery. The defendants will have 20 days to file defense briefs before the request for indictment for manslaughter.
