Surgeon Struck Off for Catastrophic Error | Manchester News

A surgeon was struck off the medical register after a catastrophic botched operation left a patient permanently disabled — the tribunal called it “as bad as it gets for a consultant surgeon.” Dr. Yasser Adly Abdel Rahman, working as a locum in 2020, allegedly created a fatal internal loop during emergency surgery, causing bowel contents to back up into the stomach. The patient endured agonizing pain and required constant suction for three weeks before a second surgeon uncovered the errors. Despite the extreme difficulty of the case, the tribunal found Rahman’s conduct unacceptable: he refused to take responsibility, blamed others, and showed no remorse — a pattern that raised serious concerns about public safety and professional integrity. Ultimately, the tribunal concluded his actions were incompatible with life-saving care, and he was removed from practice.
