Surgeon cut off testicle 'by mistake'

[louisoh]

A patient lost a testicle during an operation because the surgeon cut it off by mistake, a General Medical Council (GMC) hearing has been told.

Dr Sulieman Al Hourani was only supposed to cut out a cyst, but removed the whole right testicle instead.

It's quite easily done really. Very easy to mistake a cyst from a testicle!
