Ambulatory Surgery Expert Witnesses

An ambulatory surgery medical expert witness is a professional that can provide insight and testimony in legal cases involving medical procedures and surgeries that are performed in a facility that does not require an overnight stay. These experts specialize in cases related to the operation, diagnosis, care, treatment and prognosis of patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. They may have experience with general surgical procedures such as laparoscopies or orthopedic procedures for sports injuries, as well as specialized surgeries such as cosmetic or ophthalmological operations. A qualified ambulatory surgery expert witness can provide testimony on issues related to patient safety and best practices during an outpatient procedure. They may also be knowledgeable about any relevant risks associated with an operation or the implications of any negligence on the part of a surgeon or other healthcare provider. In addition, they will be able to discuss guidelines for post-operative care including pain management and wound care. Depending on their specific areas of expertise, some ambulatory surgery medical expert witnesses may specialize in particular types of operations such as plastic surgery or orthopedic surgeries while others may focus on issues related to anesthesia administration during outpatient procedures. Additionally, these experts can offer their opinion regarding the relationship between pre-operative testing results and expected outcomes after a procedure has been completed.
