Patient’s testicle cut off in op by mistake

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 General Medical Council (GMC) heard.

Dr Al Hourani, who worked as a locum surgeon at Fairfield General Hospital in Bury, Greater Manchester, is accused of misconduct over the error and faces further charges of injecting himself with a drug meant for a patient and stealing tablets.
