    Sue the hospital if the surgeon was employed by them ... otherwise, sue the entire surgery team.  Surgeon, nurses, anesthesiologist ... they are all responsible since they are supposed to have a "chart" telling them what the surgery is for.  Also check the chart, to make sure it was written correctly - if not, sue the admitting personnel as well.
