The family is taking legal action after a 4-year-old boy underwent an “unplanned vasectomy” during hernia surgery.

A baby boy in Texas had hernia surgery in his groin last August, but a doctor accidentally severed one of the tubes that carry sperm.

This means that the child is likely to need more surgery and may have infertility problems in later years.

Randy Sollers, an attorney who is suing doctors and hospitals on behalf of his family, told Fox 4.

“It can affect this young man for the rest of his life.”

She is concerned about how this affects children physically and emotionally, and needs to explain this to potential couples planning to have children.”

Sollers added: “This is not a normal mistake.

Here, the doctor was unable to identify the exact anatomy that needed to be amputated. It wasn’t discovered until they were sent to pathology. “

The surgeon who operated on the boy was said to have had no problems with his previous defects.

He added to ABC in a statement: “I did not take full responsibility until I apologized.

“Parents now find it difficult to explain this to kids of the right age.”

Vasectomy is commonly used by men as a form of contraception. By removing the tube that carries the sperm to the semen, this means that the patient can ejaculate without the risk of pregnancy.

It is possible to undo a vasectomy, but this is not always successful.

A spokesperson for Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston said, “Texas Children’s Hospital’s top priority is the health and well-being of patients.

“Due to patient privacy requirements, we are unable to comment.”
