Patient was in for colonoscopy with endoscopic ultrasound and possible full thickness resection device (ftrd).Lesion found and assessed by doctors.They felt it needed to be removed via ftrd.After performing clip placement and snaring of lesion it was quickly noted that there was a sigmoid colon perforation.The scrub tech looked at the ftrd system that was removed from the scope and saw that the ovesco clip did not deploy.So, the clip did not grab the tissue prior to snaring and cutting the lesion.Doctor (who had performed ftrd) then decided to stitch with x-tack sutures.Patient's belly became severely distended and veress needle had to be placed into the abdomen by doctor.Doctor was able to suture the perforation, however, patient had to be admitted.Ftrd was attempting to be used to close a large defect/hole in the mucosa after a polypectomy.For some reason clip that closed the gap did not attach to patient and the defect/hole was closed with suture instead.Device retained and placed in red bin.Staff unable to tell if was device, user or anatomy.
