Dr Yasser Adly Abdel Rahman, an NHS locum surgeon, botched a surgery at Royal Oldham Hospital so badly that the patient's organs left were “not compatible with life,” a tribunal has heard.12:03, 04 Aug 2026A doctor who botched an operation so badly that the patient's organs were left connected incorrectly, causing them to almost die, has been struck off the medical register.‌Dr Yasser Adly Abdel Rahman, an NHS locum surgeon, carried out an emergency bowel procedure on a young man, but botched it so badly the results were “not compatible with life,” a tribunal has heard.‌Due to the surgeon's incompetence, the contents of the patient's bowels were deposited directly back into his stomach instead of travelling through the digestive system, creating a "closed loop" system so dangerous it could have killed him, he Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) heard.‌Following the procedure, the patient was left in “uncontrollable pain,” and was only saved after another surgeon corrected the error during an emergency second operation, the misconduct hearing of the MPTS, sitting in Manchester, was told.Dr Rahman at no time considered that something may have gone wrong surgically, the tribunal heard, despite the patient’s parents and other medics expressing concerns.‌A former consultant general and colorectal surgeon, acting as the General Medical Council’s expert witness, said the procedure carried out by Dr Rahman was “not known to man” and his error, “as bad as it gets”.Dr Rahman, who qualified in 1993 from Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, did not attend the hearing and was not legally represented.The former doctor claimed he had been made a "scapegoat" following the operation and was the victim of a "witch hunt," denying responsibility for the procedure that took place at the Royal Oldham Hospital, where he was working as a locum on August 25, 2020.Article continues belowThe MPTS imposed an order restricting his work as a doctor in July of the following year, but Dr Rahman broke the conditions of the order as he then applied for and secured a job as a locum at Affidea Express Care Clinic in Ireland in February 2022, the tribunal found.This breach of the order imposed on his work was an “aggravating” feature, the tribunal ruled, to already “significant” errors in surgery and post-op care, the hearing was told.The tribunal concluded in a ruling last month that Dr Rahman’s misconduct was “fundamentally incompatible with continued registration” and erased him from the medical register allowing him to work as a doctor.
