Before a hysterectomy, a Māori patient made it clear they wanted their womb back "whole and intact" without "cutting or slicing", for cultural reasons.
But despite that, their whare tangata was sent to the laboratory for testing.
Now the hospital and a surgeon involved have been found to have breached the patient's rights following the improper return of a body part after surgery.
