Woman infertile after surgeon removed wrong fallopian tube

A woman who suffered an ectopic pregnancy is unable to have children naturally after a surgeon removed her healthy fallopian tube by mistake.

Chelsie Thomas was admitted to Walsall Manor Hospital with the pregnancy in her right tube in March last year.

During an operation, the surgeon removed the left fallopian tube instead, which Chelsie, 27, said had "destroyed everything".

The hospital apologised and admitted an error was "regrettably made".

Ms Thomas' ectopic pregnancy was discovered after she experienced bleeding and went to the hospital - where she had been working as a healthcare assistant for nine years - on 7 March last year.

She had surgery the same day, where her healthy fallopian tube was removed.
