Added: It will be assumed that a negligent surgery case would be brought in the STATE courts, therefore that the "Supreme Court" referred to would be the STATE Supreme Court. In that case it would be necessary for such a case to be fought through the lower levels of the court system, and then be accepted by the court for review, to even reach such a possibility.
