Event Description

Incident report.We received the following pearl (our safety followup program) for a koh ring failure.After completion of robotic supracervical hysterectomy, rumi arch instrument with koh arch ring was removed by a surgical tech student from the patient's vagina and placed on table.Second surgeon then began robotic sacrocolpopexy and requested that new rumi arch instrument with sacrocolpopexy tip be inserted into vagina.Sacrocolpopexy tip would not center itself in vagina and appeared to deflect to the right or left when attempted.Surgeon scrubbed in to perform vaginal exam and found plastic koh ring in vagina.This piece normally is attached to the koh handle as one piece.Surgeon then resumed robotic surgery, but visually there still seemed to be a bulge of something soft within the vagina.Second vaginal exam by surgeon found a second piece of the koh arch, the fluid-filled balloon, was also still in the vagina.After removal of second piece surgeon resumed sacrocolpopexy surgery.(b)(4).
