The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Maharashtra recently exonerated a Mumbai-based surgeon from charges of medical negligence, while performing AVF fistula surgery on a patient, who died after developing gangrene.

Group of Hospitals, Surgery and overlooked the expert evidence, as per which, there was no negligence by the surgeon.
