An Italian surgeon who mistakenly
removed a woman's stomach after an incorrect diagnosis of
malignant tumour in 2016 on Tuesday got two years in jail for
negligence and malpractice.
The mistaken operation took place at the MultiMedica Clinic in
Sesto San Giovanni near Milan.
Lead surgeon Valerio Ceriani was also banned from practising for
two years.
He and the clinic were ordered to pay the woman 300,000 euros in
damages, and 20,000 euros to her husband.
The second surgeon, a woman, was acquitted.
Ceriani's jail term was suspended.
