A 55-year-old woman died unexpectedly at the Mater Private Hospital in Dublin shortly after undergoing elective surgery designed to stop her having to use a colostomy bag, an inquest has heard.
A consultant surgeon told a sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court that he had never seen a patient experience such complications in over 14 years of performing such surgery.
Dolores Bollard – a married mother of three from Channel Road, Rush, Co Dublin – was admitted to the hospital on September 10, 2020 for an operation to close a stoma – an opening in her abdomen – to reverse a colostomy.
