Boy, 9, died 'in agony' after being operated on by suspended surgeon

A nine-year-old boy suffered "fatal physical harm" after he was operated on by a suspended surgeon at Addenbrooke's hospital.

Jack Moate died two months after Kuldeep Stohr performed surgery on him in 2015.

Jack suffered "significant blood loss" during the operation and was left in continuous pain.

His mother, Elizabeth Moate said: "They sent my boy home, and he died in agony."

She said she "felt pressured" to give consent for the operation, fearing it might be too much for her son, who had complex medical needs.

Independent experts recently assessed Jack's case as part of a wider investigation into Ms Stohr's practice.

They said they had "significant concerns" about his operation, which "carried significant risks" given his condition.

The reviewers also found no imaging was carried out before he was discharged after his surgery.

A later scan found his operation had not worked, leaving the procedure "unhealed and unstable".

Jack's mother said her son was "crying and screaming" with pain when he arrived home.

"I can't believe that Ms Stohr was unaware of the damage she had done… I'll never be able to forgive the hospital for what happened," she said.
