Report into actions of Yaser Jabbar from 2017 to 2022 says 36 of the patients suffered severe harm under his care
Nearly 100 children were harmed by a Great Ormond Street surgeon, according to an independent review.
Great Ormond Street hospital (Gosh) conducted an independent review of nearly 800 patients treated by the consultant orthopaedic surgeon Yaser Jabbar between 2017 and 2022, who specialised in limb lengthening and reconstruction.
Of the 789 children under his care, the study concluded that 94 were specifically harmed as a result of his actions, of whom 91 had been operated on by Jabber.
Announcing the findings, Matthew Shaw, chief executive of Gosh, said everyone at the hospital was “profoundly sorry” for all those affected and promised the trust had learnt lessons.
