Overview
- The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service has erased Dr Yasser Adly Abdel Rahman from the medical register and imposed an immediate suspension while any appeal is possible.
- The tribunal found that during emergency surgery at Royal Oldham Hospital the surgeon connected the wrong section of small intestine to the stomach, creating a dangerous 'closed loop' that blocked bowel passage.
- A different consultant carried out a second emergency operation that salvaged bowel and formed a stoma, and tribunal evidence said the patient would likely have died without that intervention.
- The GMC’s expert witness described the original procedure as 'at the extreme end of surgical error' and 'not known to man,' and the tribunal recorded failures to seek help, to respond to post‑op warning signs, and a lack of remorse.
- The panel treated a February 2022 locum role in Ireland taken without notifying the GMC as an aggravating breach of conditions placed on his registration in July 2021, raising questions about locum oversight and supervision.
