Event Description

According to the available information, the surgeon placed a bladder stent without any noticeable issues during an appendectomy of a young patient.Post operatively, the stent was left in place.Fifteen minutes after the patient arrived in the recovery room, the surgeon was called back because the stent was no longer in place.The stent was "cut in half" and the distal end remained in the bladder.The patient was placed under general anesthesia and a cystoscopy was performed to remove the distal end.There were no subsequent consequences.The balloon had not been inflated prior to installation.No sharp objects had been used.It was reported that probing mandrel in place, there was greater resistance than usual when withdrawing the mandrel.It was probable shear injury at this time; spontaneous rupture of the probe occurred approximately 30 minutes later.

Manufacturer Narrative

A five-centimeter segment was received for analysis.In the absence of information about the device status before use, after the mandrel removal, and without the available entire device it is not possible to conclude on the root cause of this incident.
