Event Description

A patient underwent a hiatal hernia repair procedure to address a 6cm hernia, followed by a tif procedure.A 60fr bougie was used prior to inserting the esophyx device and the tif procedure was completed.No patient injury was identified during or immediately after the procedures.The day after the procedures, the patient presented with chest pain and a ct scan was performed.The ct scan showed a perforation of unknown size in the area of the cardia, in the posterior aspect.The patient underwent an additional procedure to treat the perforation and stitches from the hiatal hernia repair were also seen torn out of the right arm of the crus.This was repaired during the same procedure.Additionally, multiple fasteners on the posterior aspect of the esophagus were seen "dangling" and were removed laparoscopically.
