A surgeon that seriously injured a woman after he accidentally stapled her vagina during routine surgery three years ago has been stood down after another 'significant clinical incident.'
This time the doctor - previously on a $350,000 yearly salary - left a middle-aged man with 'massive urological trauma' during a botched hernia operation, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported.
The doctor, who conducted the surgery at the Robina Hospital on Queensland's Gold Coast, was stood down on February 1 and is now being investigated by the Office of the Health Ombudsman and the Health Practitioners Agency.

According to the publication, staff had previously expressed their concerns that the ageing doctor had been allowed to continue performing surgery.
Professor Marianne Vonau, Gold Coast Health's executive director of clinical governance, education and research, said the hospital had taken a number of precautionary steps to ensure safety of patients.
'There was a previous incident involving the same surgeon in 2013. In response Gold Coast Health implemented a number of measures to ensure safe outcomes for our patients,' she said,


'The surgeon has been working under a restricted scope of practice and there were no other clinical incidents from that point until now. Throughout this period we were aware of concerns raised by staff.'
A private source told the Gold Coast Bulletin the latest incident was a result of a 'major techincal error.'
'The patient had a major ­injury to the bladder and rectum. It will take some time to recover from that,' the source said.
The 2013 case that saw a female patient with a stapled vagina happened during bowel surgery.
