JERSEY CITY – A Kearny woman is suing Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center in Secaucus for letting her dentures lodge in her esophagus while she was under anesthesia for a 2013 surgical procedure. Lourdes Rivera, 56, eventually needed a tracheostomy to remove lower partial dentures that got stuck in her esophagus and remained there for three months, according to the lawsuit filed in state Superior Court in Hudson County last month.
