It may be worth gathering all medical records and have them reviewed by an OB/GYN to see whether there was any departure from the standard of good practice. The classic defense is that your complication was an accepted risk of the hysterectomy procedure. Only another expert in the same field can render a useful opinion one way or the other. And they charge (handsomely) for their time. Best, M. E. Zuller
