A woman whose bowel was damaged while undergoing a hysterectomy at a Paisley hospital was operated on by a trainee too junior to handle the intricate procedure, a watchdog has found.
The woman, in her 40s, had a hysterectomy at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, Renfrewshire, on January 14, 2020, to treat heavy periods.
The procedure was deemed more risky than usual because she had previously had four caesarean sections.
