Great Ormond Street Hospital has launched an urgent review into the cases of 721 children treated by surgeon Yaser Jabbar, following a leaked internal report that exposed serious safety concerns. The report, obtained by The Sunday Times, revealed that some operations on the children's limbs were botched, leaving some with different length legs and others requiring amputations. Additionally, some surgeries were deemed unnecessary, and some children were left deformed. The hospital has expressed deep regret over the incidents, stating it is 'incredibly sorry' for the harm caused. Despite the controversy, Yaser Jabbar is reportedly still practicing and attending top medical conferences in Dubai.
