According to Chinese media Hongseong News and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, A (10), who lives in Chengmu County, Shandong Province, China, was hospitalized on October 26, 2023, complaining of abdominal pain after bumping into a friend on the school playground.
The hospital decided to perform laparoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive surgery, on the grounds that a tumor was suspected in the abdomen.
However, problems such as bleeding occurred during the operation, and the operation continued for 14 hours, which removed almost all digestive organs.
A's mother, Yoo, explained that doctors came out several times and asked for consent, said she needed open surgery due to bleeding problems, and that organ removal was inevitable"In the end, I wrote the consent form four times," he claimed.
After surgery, A lost a sharp weight, and bilirubin levels, a type of bile pigment, were also significantly elevated. If this number is excessively high, liver function can be considered to have decreased.
A is currently spending his days in a hospital bed, barely speaking.
According to a forensic report conducted by a third institution in December last year, there was gross negligence in the hospital's medical treatment, which directly caused organ damage to the boy. Accordingly, the health authorities began investigating a series of errors since May last year, including the hospital's lack of prior consultation procedures.
During the operation, doctors said that the pancreas and duodenum should be removed, and the gallbladder, including the small intestine, and up to two-thirds of the stomach were removed, and the large intestine remained only 50cm. Yoo claims that he requested the transfer to a higher hospital at the time, but the hospital refused to do so, saying the condition was not suitable for transfer.
The hospital compensated the family 200,000 yuan (about 40 million won), but this is far short of the long-term treatment cost.
Yoo has been treated around China for the past two years with his son, and some specialists said organ transplants are the only solution. Yoo complained that both the child and his family are suffering greatly because of the possibility of transplantation and the burden of immunosuppressants that he has to take for life.
Yoo then said "My son often 'Mom, I can't eat or drink. What's the point of living?' asks. But we will do everything to save our son"I want to check the CCTV records at the time of the surgery to find out the truth," he said.
