Overview
- Judicial authorities in Paterna have opened an inquiry into alleged serious professional negligence tied to surgeries performed by a gynecologic oncologist in Valencia.
- One patient identified as Tania alleges she was operated on for a tumor that did not exist and later underwent amputation of the anus, rectum and bladder as a result of the surgery.
- The brother of a deceased woman of Kuwaiti origin has filed a complaint alleging the same doctor caused an intestinal perforation that led to her death after she testified in court about another alleged negligence.
- Reporting identifies the physician as Dr. L. M., who works at a private Valencia hospital, and notes that formal forensic findings, hospital reviews or medical board actions have not been published yet.
- The case could widen if more victims come forward and if forensic or institutional probes substantiate the complaints, so authorities, hospital investigators and patient families are the key parties to watch next.
