17-year old Priya, a first-year B.Sc. Physical Education student at Queen Mary’s College suffered a ligament tear and underwent a procedure at the Periyar Nagar Government Peripheral Hospital. Following complications, her right leg was amputated a day after.
A week after developing complications due to a ligament tear repair, Priya died of multiple-organ failure at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH) on Tuesday last. Two doctors were placed under suspension over the incident and are to face legal action.
Doctors said that a delay in removing a compression bandage placed after she underwent the arthroscopic ligament repair procedure, turned fatal for her. Prolonged pressure from the compression bandage resulted in a lack of blood flow to the leg, resulting in complications.
