Kamal Abusin carried out the procedure on the man in his 30s at Portsmouth's Queen Alexandra Hospital in 2008. A General Medical Council prosecutor is set to recommended Mr Abusin receive a warning but not be struck off. In February the patient was awarded £6.7m damages after the operation left him with kidney failure and needing a transplant from his sister. The GMC Fitness to Practise panel, led by Dr Ann Barker, considered allegations Mr Abusin, a consultant in renal transplant surgery, took an inappropriate course of action while removing the patient's right kidney and did not discuss the increased risks of the method with the patient. The panel also considered an assertion Mr Abusin did not treat a haemorrhage appropriately and failed to make proper medical notes. He was also accused of failing to respond to requests from the GMC for details of his employers. The panel found that Mr Abusin had not been negligent in opting to remove the kidney in the manner he chose or for the way he treated the haemorrhage. However, it did uphold the assertions the surgeon had not discussed the increased risks of the procedure with the patient, but said this did not represent a culpable failure because he had not perceived there to be any risks. It also said he had failed to keep proper medical notes about the decision to remove the right, rather than the left kidney. The final accusation that Mr Abusin had failed to respond to requests from the GMC was also upheld. Following the hearing in London on Monday the GMC prosecutor has indicated that the GMC would not seek to find Mr Abusin impaired in his fitness to practise but instead recommended he receive a warning. In February, the High Court heard the life of the patient - a father-of-two - had been shortened by about 10 years and he had to suffer the trauma of dialysis, considerable health problems and the prospect of future deterioration with the inevitability of another transplant. He was in his mid-30s at the time of the operation and had wanted to give his father a better quality of life in retirement. He received more than 100 units of blood and fluid transfusions and he was in hospital for two months. The panel will make its full decision after hearing from the other parties involved.
