The Tirana Prosecutor's Office has completed the investigation into the death of 3-year-old Brian Spahiu, who lost his life after a dental procedure at a private clinic in the capital, and has sent seven people to trial.
According to the prosecution, three of the defendants are charged with "negligent homicide," while the others are charged with other criminal offenses, including fraud, illegal practice of the profession, and serious violations of medical protocols, which are suspected of being directly related to the loss of the minor's life.
According to the investigation reports, the minor underwent extensive dental surgery on 14 teeth, under general anesthesia for about five hours, which is considered inappropriate for a 3-year-old child.
The dentist who dealt with the little boy's teeth is Ina Xhaxho, the daughter of doctor Roland Xhaxho, who injected the anesthesia into the 3-year-old.
Roland Xhaxho, the doctor who owned the clinic, and doctor Marta Gina are accused of the criminal offense of 'Murder by Negligence' and 'Fraud' committed in collaboration.
Meanwhile, Ina Xhaxho, Ronald Xhixho's daughter, also a doctor, is accused of the criminal offenses of 'Murder by negligence', 'Fraud' committed in collaboration and 'Exercise of illegal activity'.
" The Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Tirana, completed the investigations and sent seven people to trial after the loss of life of a 3-year-old, citizen BS, after a dental procedure at a clinic in the capital.
At the conclusion of the investigations, on criminal proceedings no. 6477, of 2023, the Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Tirana, sent citizens R.Xh and MG to trial, for the criminal offense of 'Murder by negligence' and 'Fraud' committed in collaboration, provided for by articles 85 and 143/2 of the Criminal Code, citizen I.Xh. for the criminal offense of 'Murder by negligence', 'Fraud' committed in collaboration and 'Exercise of illegal activity' provided for by articles 85, 143/2 and 180/a/2 of the Criminal Code, citizens ES and EA for the criminal offense of 'Abuse of office' provided for by articles 248 and 25 of the Criminal Code, as well as citizens DA and VH for the criminal offense of 'Neglect in medical treatment' provided for by article 96/1 of the Criminal Code.
On 28.09.2023, the minor BS underwent a dental procedure on 14 teeth at the "Splendent" Clinic, run by doctors R.Xh and I. Xh. After the procedure, the minor returned home and within a few hours was sent in serious condition (coma and acute respiratory failure), to the Pediatric Hospital at the "Mother Teresa" Hospital Center, Tirana, where he later passed away on 01.10.2023.
According to the act of forensic re-examination and additional forensic examination, by the Italian expert group, it was concluded that: Severe septic shock, which subsequently led to progressive multi-organ failure, is the main cause of death of the minor patient BS. The expert group concluded that during the dental intervention and anesthesia procedure, by the anesthesiologist and dentists who treated the minor, serious violations of international medical protocols and best medical practices were found, which have a direct causal link to his death.
These violations consisted of: – failure to implement, perform the necessary checks and verifications to accurately identify the patient's clinical condition before surgery; failure to adequately formulate the diagnosis before surgery and failure to provide appropriate prophylactic treatment before surgery and, subsequently, the minor underwent a surgical procedure without being adequately examined, without an accurate diagnosis, without a justified indication, without specifying alternatives and without performing the necessary and mandatory tests for the patient's clinical condition;
The intervention performed, which was more extensive than allowed for a 3-year-old child and the induction of general anesthesia for a period of about 5 hours, to simultaneously treat many teeth, including some with pulp infection, with the risks associated with general anesthesia and the difficult control of postoperative infections, highlights the responsibility for excessive treatment.
the completely inappropriate discharge of the minor from the hospital, also not taking into account the risks associated with anesthesia and the pathologies from which the child was suffering, and especially the reasons for the prolonged awakening time after the intervention, as well as other clinical signs.
The investigation also proved that the two dentists I.Xh and MG deceived the minor's parents by charging them for filling 14 teeth, while the autopsy showed that 6 of them were open but not filled. For this fact, charges were filed against them under Article 143/2 of the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, the investigation proved that the I.Xh. dentist continued to practice its activity illegally after the incident, as it did not renew, in accordance with legal procedures, its license as a dentist from the Order of Dentists.
During the investigations, serious violations of medical protocols were found in the conduct of the autopsy and forensic expertise, including by the IML experts, citizens ES and EA.
"Violations were also found among the pediatric doctors on duty VA and DS at the moment the minor was taken to the hospital. The doctors did not implement medical protocols in terms of determining the correct diagnosis, identifying the most common causes of shock in children and treating with appropriate antibiotic therapy. As a result, their failure to perform their actions caused the minor's serious injury, even though he was in serious condition, a fact that resulted from the re-examination act, since his death did not come from their inactions, but from the main and direct cause, which were the actions and inactions of the defendants R.Xh., I.Xh and MG ," the prosecution announced.
