Surgeon struck off after wrongly connecting organs
An expert witness said the bowel procedure carried out by the surgeon was "not known to man".
Dr Yasser Adly Abdel Rahman, an NHS locum surgeon from Egypt, has been struck off the medical register after performing a botched emergency bowel operation. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) heard that the procedure left the patient in uncontrollable pain and could have resulted in his death. Despite concerns from the patient's parents and other medical professionals, Rahman did not consider any potential surgical errors.
The MPTS ruled that Rahman's misconduct was fundamentally incompatible with continued registration, erasing him from the medical register.
