Jade Edgington was 16 when disgraced surgeon Ian Paterson first operated on her unnecessarily.

Workers are being offered a smashing way to relieve stress - with old office equipment and a baseball bat.

Ian Paterson conducted "extensive, life-changing operations for no medically-justifiable reason".

What drove a trusted breast surgeon to carry out botched and dangerous operations on hundreds of patients?

In the meantime, keep an eye out here for more on Paterson - and other breaking news.

Here's a recap of the main points in the case of breast surgeon Ian Paterson who has been convicted this afternoon of wounding patients in a series of needless procedures. 

- Ian Paterson, 59, of Greater Manchester, has been found guilty of 17 counts of wounding with intent 

- He has also been convicted of three counts of unlawful wounding 

- They relate to nine women and one man 

- A seven-week trial heard their accounts - representing a sample of those Paterson treated - of operations carried out between 1997 and 2011 at the private Little Aston and Parkway hospitals in the West Midlands 

- Jurors have decided the surgeon carried out "extensive, life-changing operations for no medically-justifiable reason"

- He has been granted bail and is due to be sentenced in May

A victim of Ian Paterson opted for a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction after the surgeon told her he had found a "ticking bomb" of cancerous cells.

But when Patricia Welch's case was reviewed, an expert found her symptoms had been grossly exaggerated. 

She says Paterson "won't suffer" as all of his victims have suffered for many years.

A charitable organisation dedicated to advancing standards of breast surgery says a case like that of Ian Paterson is "unlikely" to happen again.

The 59-year-old surgeon has been convicted of seventeen counts of wounding with intent in relation to a series of unnecessary operations. 

He was released on bail and is due to be sentenced next month at Nottingham Crown Court. 

A breast surgeon has today been found guilty of wounding patients in a series of unnecessary procedures at private hospitals.

But it wasn't just Ian Paterson's private work that was a cause for concern. He was also employed by the NHS at the Heart of England Trust, based in and around Birmingham and while his job here did not form part of the criminal case, there are serious questions about his work. 

An independent report in 2013, external, by lawyer Sir Ian Kennedy, found concerns about Paterson dated back to 2003 but were not dealt with for four years.

He said bosses at the Heart of England NHS Trust were told of concerns but "brushed them under the carpet".

Breast surgeon Ian Paterson's seven-week trial heard from 10 victims - representing a sample of those Paterson treated - who were operated on between 1997 and 2011 at the privately-run Little Aston and Parkway hospitals in the West Midlands.

The sites are run by Spire Healthcare.

A statement said: "We would like to reiterate how truly sorry we are for the distress experienced by any patients affected by this case.

"We can say unequivocally that we have learned the lessons from these events. We commissioned a thorough independent investigation and have fully implemented all of the recommendations."

The relative of a victim of Ian Paterson says the surgeon had a "God complex".

Shirley Moroney's sister, Marie Pinfield, asked Paterson for a double mastectomy in 2006 when she was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. 

But instead of waking up with the flat chest she expected, the surgeon had used the controversial "cleavage-sparing" surgical technique which had left so much tissue behind she had to wear a bra. 

Marie asked for corrective surgery but the delay to chemotherapy and radiotherapy meant she developed secondary cancer in her lung and died in October 2008. 

A patient of Ian Paterson says he twice operated on her and told her she appeared to be developing cancer.

Cheryl Iommi later learned the lumps the breast surgeon claimed were a cancer risk were simply scar tissue left behind from his botched procedures.

She says she feels like she's been "duped" and "seriously misled".

Here's some analysis from health correspondent Dominic Hughes on 'God complex' breast surgeon Ian Paterson:

"It wasn't just Ian Paterson's private work that was a cause for concern.

"He was also employed by the NHS at the Heart of England Trust, based in and around Birmingham.

"His job here did not form part of the criminal case but there are serious questions about his work.

"In 2011 it emerged he had been performing an unorthodox and unregulated procedure known as a cleavage-sparing mastectomy."

Dominic continues:

"By definition, a mastectomy removes the whole breast, but this procedure left some tissue behind, putting women at risk of the cancer returning.

"Despite repeatedly being asked to stop by managers, Ian Paterson continued to use the technique for several years."

Police say the investigation into the breast surgeon who wounded patients with unnecessary operations at West Midlands hospitals took a long time due to its complexity.

The crimes of Ian Paterson, 59, related to nine women and one man. 

DS Dale Robertson of West Midlands Police says records stretching back nearly 20 years ago were required to put the case together accurately. 

A victim of 'God complex' breast surgeon Ian Paterson says she felt 'violated' by the unnecessary surgery to which she was subjected.

Jade Edgington was 16 and studying for A-levels when she found a lump in her breast while in the shower. 

She was then introduced to Paterson and by the time she was 19 had undergone four invasive operations, later learning three of them were unnecessary.  

More now from Debbie Douglas, a former patient of breast surgeon Ian Paterson who has this afternoon been speaking of her ordeal.

She attended court, but did not give evidence, and said after Paterson's conviction for multiple counts of wounding: "I thought I had the best of consultants. All these years down the line, I feel I've been betrayed."

One of the women wounded by breast surgeon Ian Paterson says he "should suffer and he should spend a long time in jail".

Birmingham woman Debbie Douglas was a former patient who attended court proceedings, but did not give evidence.

She had an unnecessary mastectomy which left her in "horrendous" pain and later learned her cancer was not serious enough to warrant such a procedure, or the exhausting seven-month course of chemotherapy she endured. 

A victim of Ian Paterson has told how he cut into her breast 27 times to carry out biopsies "for no good reason".

Frances Perks had already lost her mother and sister to breast cancer when she was referred to the surgeon in 1994 after discovering a lump. 

She was then advised to have a double mastectomy or risk "full blown cancer". 

In the end, she opted to have one breast, her left, removed, and underwent eight other operations at Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull after Paterson said he kept finding "sinister" looking lumps.

A victim of breast surgeon Ian Paterson who mutilated patients in unnecessary procedures says he told her she would inevitably get cancer. 

Marian Moran was 49 in 1998 when she went to see her GP about a lump in her breast. A mammogram proved inconclusive, but Paterson removed a growth similar to a wart which did not reveal any signs of malignancy. 

He then carried out further similar operations in 2001 and 2003, with the surgeon claiming the growths were pre-cancerous. 

Mrs Moran then underwent a mastectomy in 2004.
