Woman went in for hysterectomy and came out with missing teeth

A hospital patient came round from an hysterectomy operation to find some of her teeth missing.

Clare Jones, 47, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, woke up with a gaping hole in her mouth and bleeding gums after undergoing routine keyhole surgery on July 15.

The mum-of-two signed a declaration confirming she had one denture, which was taken out before she went under the knife at Royal Stoke University Hospital.

But she noticed another two front teeth had been removed while she was in theatre.

Medics at the hospital could not explain what had happened and she has now been told an investigation to uncover the truth could take two months.

Clare said: ‘Nobody seems to have any recollection of the teeth being taken out, it’s just unbelievable.

‘I woke up from an operation with two teeth missing, and I cannot believe that I still have not been able to get a straight answer from the hospital.
