Gastroenterology combines medical management of digestive diseases with procedural expertise in colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, and ERCP. Reliable Clinical Experts GI experts understand adenoma detection rate benchmarks, proper polypectomy technique, and procedural complication management. They evaluate whether colonoscopies met quality standards, whether procedural complications resulted from technical errors, and whether diagnostic workups were adequate.

Why It Matters

Why a Gastroenterology Expert Matters

Gastroenterology malpractice often involves missed colon cancer from inadequate colonoscopy technique or improper surveillance intervals. Reliable Clinical Experts gastroenterologists explain to juries what polyp detection rates are acceptable, whether procedural complications resulted from technique errors, and how earlier cancer detection would have changed prognosis. Their testimony establishes the causation link between substandard colonoscopy and advanced colorectal cancer.

Common Issues We Evaluate:

Missed colorectal cancer from inadequate adenoma detection rate or technique
Perforation during colonoscopy from excessive force or poor visualization
Post-ERCP pancreatitis from inadequate technique or patient selection
Failure to biopsy suspicious lesions during endoscopy
Inadequate surveillance intervals after polyp removal
Delayed recognition and repair of post-procedure perforation

Gastroenterology Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts gastroenterology expert witness services.

What is an acceptable miss rate for colon polyps?

Reliable Clinical Experts gastroenterologists testify that adenoma detection rates should be at least 25% in men and 15% in women over age 50 — quality benchmarks established by gastroenterology societies. Our experts review withdrawal time, cecal intubation rates, bowel preparation quality, and photodocumentation to assess colonoscopy quality. Consistently low detection rates or missing large obvious polyps indicates substandard technique.

When does a colonoscopy perforation constitute malpractice?

Reliable Clinical Experts GI experts testify that perforation occurs in approximately 1 in 1,000 colonoscopies, and not all perforations represent negligence. However, perforations from excessive force, advancing without adequate visualization, or failure to promptly recognize and manage perforation can constitute malpractice. Our experts evaluate technique, patient anatomy, and complication response to establish standard of care.
