A judge rules in favour of the London hospital trust that carried out the surgeries.
A man who had his testicles removed due to a flesh-eating bacteria infection has lost a High Court battle.
Deputy High Court Judge Hugh Southey QC ruled that while the trust had breached its duty, it could not be proved the breach "caused loss".During a four-day hearing in November, the High Court heard father-of-six Mr Dalchow had a "routine and uncomplicated" surgery to remove a 3cm cyst on his scrotum in April 2015.
In his judgement, Judge Southey said Mr Dalchow's treatment included being assessed by a doctor at 11:00 before being examined by a more experienced consultant an hour later. The trust said that while it accepted there had been a breach of duty by not starting antibiotics at 12:00, it denied a breach over the speed of the ultrasound and said it would not have led to an earlier diagnosis.
