A consultant gynaecologist who sterilised a new mother without her permission while in a middle of a cesarean section has been suspended for a year.
Dr Olusegun Lawrence Olujide had 'no excuse' to carry out an 'outdated' procedure on the female patient during the birth of her baby at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital, in Winchester.
He had not received permission from the patient and there was no clinical justification for doing it without consent, a disciplinary hearing was told.
Dr Olujide also failed to tell colleagues that he intended to carry out the sterilisation and then didn't inform the woman afterwards that he had done so.
Concerned colleagues raised the alarm to bosses about his behaviour who then took 'immediate action to ensure other patients were not put at risk'.
Dr Olujide no longer works for the hospital.

He admitted misconduct following the incident on August 6, 2020.
At the hearing, Katie Nowell, counsel for the General Medical Council, said that the method that Dr Olujide used to sterilise the patient, the application of diathermy to the fallopian tubes, is outdated.
She also said that he had shown 'limited reflection' following the incident, and that he had failed to identify where exactly he had gone wrong - although she did say he had now apologised to the patient.

The tribunal decided that Dr Olujide's fitness to practice has been impaired, with the tribunal deciding to suspend him from practicing for 12 months.
Dr Olujide asked for the suspension period to begin in 28 days time, allowing patients under his care to be transferred to a different doctor in a timely and responsive manner.
Ms Nowell added that the GMC was not calling for Dr Olujide to be suspended immediately, saying that it had not received any complaints about his conduct since the incident in August 2020.
The chair of the tribunal, Gul Nawaz Hussain KC, said: 'Having considered all submissions in this case, we have determined that a 12-month suspension is in order.'
A spokesperson for Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: 'We would like to express our deepest regret to the patient affected by the actions of Dr Olujide.
'Obtaining patient consent is fundamental to ethical practice, as is made clear by the General Medical Council, and the provision of good care; there is simply no excuse for what took place.
'We are very grateful to those colleagues who recognised that Dr Olujide had carried out the procedure without consent and raised the alarm.
'Through them, we were able to take immediate action to ensure other patients were not put at risk and we could give our sincerest apologies to the patient and explain what had happened.
'We respect the decision made by the General Medical Council and the further scrutiny provided through their tribunal, and we can confirm that Dr Olujide will not be reinstated by Hampshire Hospitals.
'If any patients of Dr Olujide are concerned we would invite them to make contact through our Patient Advice and Liaison Service by emailing [email protected] or on 01256 486766.'
