Event Description

A facility reported the perforator did not disengage during surgery.Surgeon states this is the 3rd incident in a month, the other two were not reported because they thought it might have been isolated cases.The procedures were either completed with a new drill bit, or it occurred on the last burr hole so the procedure could continue as usual with a 5-10 minutes surgical delay to switch the drill.No patient injury.
