The Incredible Details of the Fatal Surgery Where a Patient's Liver Was Removed Instead of His Spleen
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
During an eight-hour court statement, Florida surgeon Thomas Shaknovsky faced the same question repeatedly: Why did he remove a man's liver instead of his spleen? The disastrous surgical error that occurred in August 2024—and the subsequent death of Shaknovsky's patient, 70-year-old William Bryan, on the operating table—led Bryan's widow to file a lawsuit last year and a special jury to charge Shaknovsky with involuntary manslaughter last month. He has pleaded not guilty. What exactly went wrong during the scheduled splenectomy remains a mystery, especially since Shaknovsky has not publicly commented on the case.
