I signed the requisite release forms prior to the surgery, freeing the surgeon from liability. Please advise me if there is any legal action I may take in this matter.
You can speak to a medical malpractice attorney for free as they almost always are contingency fee based, meaning that they take your case at no cost to you; they only collect if they recover on your behalf.

I suspect what you signed was not a pre-op waiver of liability, rather just the regular old informed consent forms. Even if you did sign a pre-op waiver of liability, I doubt that it is enforceable in California.

You can speak to a med mal lawyer for free, so do it.
