Surgeon was 'surprised' after accidentally cutting off man's testicle
A surgeon appeared "quite surprised" after accidentally cutting off a man's testicle, the General Medical Council was told yesterday. Dr Sulieman Al Hourani was only supposed to cut out a cyst on the patient's right testis, but instead he "mistakenly" removed the whole testicle, the GMC heard.
When the incident happened, in September 2007, Dr Al Hourani was working as a locum surgeon at Fairfield General Hospital in Bury, Greater Manchester. He is now practising in Jordan and is being tried in his absence.
He is being accused of misconduct over the error and faces further charges of injecting himself with a drug meant for a patient and stealing tablets.
