NHS surgeon wrongly connected patient’s organs together in ‘bizarre’ botched operation

An NHS surgeon, Dr Yasser Adly Abdel Rahman, was struck off the medical register after performing a major surgical error during an emergency bowel operation. The mistake involved incorrectly connecting the small intestine to the stomach, causing the patient's bowel contents to circulate back into the stomach, resulting in severe pain and complications. Despite the patient's worsening condition, Dr Abdel Rahman claimed the surgery was successful and refused to apologize, calling the investigation a 'witch hunt'. A second surgeon later corrected the error, saving the patient's life. Dr Abdel Rahman, who was a locum at the Royal Oldham Hospital, had only worked there for a few days before the incident occurred.
