Man left infertile after wrong testicle removed



A man was left infertile after surgeons botched an operation on his testicle.



Doctors at the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds were tasked with removing the man's right epididymis - a coiled tube which carries sperm away from the testicles - but they removed the left one instead.




The man, who has not been named, had to undergo a second operation in January last year on his right testicle, which resulted in infertility.




Health bosses declined to comment on whether he has received any compensation.
