Boston Trial Firm, Parker Scheer LLP, Retained by Family of Woman Who Died at Brigham and Women's Hospital Following Elective Gastric Bypass Surgery

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - Parker Scheer LLP has been retained by the family of a 37-year-old Lawrence, Massachusetts woman, who died just two days after undergoing surgical "stomach stapling" at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. According to published news reports, while the cause of death remains under investigation, a "misfiring" of the staple gun used in the procedure was initially blamed by the surgeon. The procedure, known as a “Rouz-en-Y” gastric bypass, involves the creation of a small pouch from the patient's stomach, leaving the stapled-off portion of the stomach non-functional, thereby fascilitating weight loss. Attorney Eric J. Parker, director of Parker Scheer's Complex Personal Injury Group, was retained by the estate of the deceased woman to investigate the case.
