After Dr. Shaknovsky removed the organ, “The staff looked at the readily identifiable liver on the table and were shocked when Dr. Shaknovsky told them that it was a spleen,” the state documents said. “One staff member felt sick to their stomach.” In follow-up interviews with the Health Department, Dr. Shaknovsky claimed that he dissected the spleen from its surrounding tissue when an apparent aneurysm in the spleen ruptured suddenly, and caused severe bleeding — an account that conflicts with those of other witnesses in the operating room. An autopsy revealed that his liver was missing, but his spleen was intact and there was no evidence of a ruptured aneurysm.
Dr. Shaknovsky then took a surgical stapling device to a vessel that he planned to cut to remove the organ, and fired the stapler. Mr. Bryan immediately began hemorrhaging and went into cardiac arrest, with blood pouring out as nurses and other medical staff members attempted to suction it. They began an emergency transfusion and tried to revive him, the report said. Dr. Shaknovsky did not ask his colleagues for a clamp or cauterizer to quell the bleeding, and instead continued to dissect Mr. Bryan’s organ “even though the abdomen was full of blood,” the state said.
Colleagues in the operating room “had concerns that Dr. Shaknovsky did not have the skill level to safely perform this procedure,” the Health Department said. The signs of trouble came almost immediately. Dr. Shaknovsky began the procedure as a laparoscopy but switched to open surgery because he could not clearly see the organs, having failed to document that Mr. Bryan had a distended colon that would have partly obstructed the view, according to the Health Department. Staff members in the operating room later reported that Mr. Bryan’s colon “burst out of the abdominal cavity” after Dr. Shaknovsky opened his abdomen, and they began suctioning blood to clear visibility, the documents say.
