Paediatric Thoracic Surgery Expert Witnesses

Paediatric thoracic surgery involves surgical procedures for conditions affecting the chest and lungs in infants, children and young people. It can include treatment of congenital lung abnormalities, chest wall deformities, thoracic tumours and other complex chest conditions.

Cases involving children’s thoracic procedures can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to diagnosis, imaging, indications for surgery, consent, operative technique, postoperative care, complications and subsequent outcomes.

Our paediatric surgery expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, imaging, operative documentation and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
