On June 2005, a male child less than a month old was admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa to undergo surgery to correct a severe left ureteroplevic junction obstruction. Dr. Homsy performed a left pyeloplasty (surgical reconstruction of the kidney pelvis). During the surgery, the Respondent attempted to place a left double-J internal ureteral stent into the ureter for post-operative drainage, but he was unable to place it due to the child's size and had to place an external draining system (Kidney Internal Stenting System). Days later the catheter was removed.
2 months later the parents believing that Dr. Homsy had been able to place the ureteral stent asked when he was going to remove it. Typical removal time is 6 weeks. Dr. Homsy mistakenly believing that he had been successful in placing the ureteral stent during the first operation, scheduled patient for removal of the stent. During surgery he found that he had not left a ureteral stent during the previous operation. As a result, this second surgery was unnecessary. Dr. Homsy admitted he had not remembered that he had been unsuccesful unsuccessful in placing the ureteral stent in the previous operation until he had been in the process of performing the cystoscopy.
Section 456.072(1)(aa) Florida Statutes (2005) provides that performing or attempting to perform health care services on the wrong patient, a wrong-site procedure, a wrong procedure or an authorized procedure or a procedure that is medically unnecessary or otherwise unrelated to the patient's diagnosis or medical condition constitutes grounds for discipline by the Board of Medicine.
