The parents of a four-year-old boy are suing a Texas hospital for $500,000 after he was mistakenly given a vasectomy during surgery to treat a hernia on his groin.
Before the surgery, the boy, only identified in court documents as 'R.B,' complained of of right-sided swelling in his scrotum that would worsen in the evenings when Dr. Susan L Jarosz recommended a right inguinal hernia repair in August 2021, according to ABC 13.
The surgery, conducted at the Texas Children's Hospital, was scheduled for August 4, 2021, but when trying to remove the hernia, court documents say, Jarosz also cut the vas deferens, which carry the sperm out of the testes.
She and risk management staff at Texas Children's Hospital then advised the child's parents of possible short- and long-term consequences - including reduced fertility, according to the lawsuit filed in Harris District Court on June 7.
'While apologies were given, full accountability was not accepted,' attorney Randy Sorrells said in a statement, adding: 'The parents now face the difficult task of explaining this to their son at the appropriate age.'
The parents, who have requested to remain anonymous out of fear their son may be bullied in the future, are now suing Jarosz, an assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine, as well as Texas Children's Hospital for $500,000 in damages - the most a party can receive in Texas for such an incident, according to FOX News.
They claim Jarosz, whom hospital officials say is not employed by the facility, was negligent by 'failing to properly position and separate the hernia sac from the vas deferens before removing it surgically.'
In addition, lawyers claim she 'breached the standard of care by failing to exercise ordinary care while performing hernia repair surgery on the little boy.'

I suspect they found out when they got the swelling in the scrotum checked out. Jeez louise...
Who the heck did the surgery?!
What are the possible complications of pediatric hernias?
Now I'm wondering what tipped them off, or if the surgeon knew and finally copped to it.
Per the link:
“The risk of gonadal injury in females is low.”
Wut?
Complicated anatomy, tiny area, disclosed risk during consent process.
Everything about the headline is wrong.
The young boy will have 11 children, if anyone is allowed to have children by then.
It sounds like she screwed up and accidentally damaged the kid in surgery. Realizing the mistake they then informed the parents.
Who on earth would give a 4 year old a vasectomy?
You’d think someone would ask first.
Injuries to the vas during hernia repair aren’t uncommon apparently.
But if the surgeon knew about injury at the time, did the surgeon at least do the repair at the time?
Cameras in Surgery Pit Patient Privacy Against Hospital Safety
Wonder if the above may explain a lot.
“Who on earth would give a 4 year old a vasectomy? You’d think someone would ask first.”
Far too many parents agree with the Neocons/Globalists that there are too many people on the planet, and feel the need to save the planet - thanks to our wonderful ‘educational’ system.
Don’t know if that played a part here, but wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case.
“The risk of gonadal injury in females is low.”
What happens if she identifies as having gonads?
“ Who the heck did the surgery?!”

ovaries are gonads.
gonads are a generic term that indicate testicles or ovaries. Essentially, the hormone producing sexual reproductive organs.
That’s what the article says. Now if only people would actually read it before posting.
‘The parents now face the difficult task of explaining this to their son at the appropriate age.’
Don’t worry, Folks! He’ll get all the ‘facts’ about ‘reproduction’ when he hits Kindergarten.
*SPIT*
I wonder if the doctor wanted to give him a vasectomy if she was a feminist doctor. A doctor in New York I believe had her license revoked when she accidently castrated 7 boys because of herina surgeries. The doctor was a lesbian.
Are you crazy? Don't you know where you are?
