According to Professor John Reynolds, the surgeon who performed the operation, Mr. Tracey experienced "sudden massive hemorrhaging" after an accidental cut to the inferior vena cava during what was deemed a safe surgery. This unexpected complication ultimately led to his death.
Ryan Tracey, the deceased's son, described how his father had been eagerly awaiting the surgery, stating, "Finally I will be better and able to live my life," highlighting his father's optimism before the procedure.
The inquest revealed Mr. Tracey’s long struggles with gastric reflux and troubling symptoms, with significant findings from tests conducted by a gastroenterologist indicating serious issues related to a hernia and ulcers.
Professor Reynolds, reflecting on his 30 years of surgical experience, mentioned he had never encountered the inferior vena cava in the area it was found during Mr. Tracey's operation, underscoring the surprise of the surgical complication.
