Manufacturer Narrative

The suspect medical device was not returned to olympus for evaluation/investigation.Therefore, the exact cause of the patient's outcome and the reported phenomenon could not be determined and is being judged as unknown.However, since there was no report of a malfunction of an olympus medical device, it is assumed that the device met its specification and was in standard.Furthermore, a manufacturing and quality control review could not be performed since basic data of article identification (lot number) are missing.The case will be closed from olympus side with no further actions.However, the reported phenomenon will be recorded for trending and surveillance purposes.

Event Description

Olympus was informed about a literature study called "intravesical explosion during transurethral resection of bladder tumor: a case report".The case at hand investigated on intravesical explosion during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (tur-bt).After surgery, no obvious damage was found to the intestines or other abdominal structures, but a large number of blood clots were found in the bladder.Following careful exploration of the bleeding sites and complete hemostasis, the residual tumor tissue was completely resected, after which the bladder was checked carefully.A test of bladder infusion showed no suture leakage.The pelvic and abdominal drainage tubes were placed, and the incision closed.This study concludes that although rare, intravesical explosions can cause serious consequences, and the loud explosion can also lead to a profound psychological shadow on the patient.Careful operative techniques and special precautions can reduce the risk of this complication.There was in total one adverse event (bladder rupture) on one patient.However, there was no malfunction of an olympus medical device reported.
