A member asked:
Had operation, now cyst on stitch area, should i sue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely to win: Skin cysts can occur randomly at the site of any surgery and are not usually a sign that the surgeon did something wrong to cause the cyst. Unless the patient has suffered an injury caused by something the surgeon did wrong or failed to do right, a law suit is just a waste of everyone's time. Check with a lawyer, if you want, but get the cyst attended to if it is giving you trouble.
