Event Description

According to the reporter, during a laparoscopic low anterior resection, in the middle of a rectal resection after finishing the detachment around the rectum, the device partially fired and the jaws could not be opened.The handle and battery were replaced, but the calibration did not go well.A manual adapter tool was used, but the jaws would still not not open and the knife did not return.It was also noted that the articulation part of cartridge was damaged and a component fell into the patient's cavity.The reload remained articulated, thus the reload could not be removed form the adapter and could not be removed from the trocar.The involved trocar was used without any malfunction.The surgeon converted the surgery into an open surgery, extended the incision for more than 1 inch, used forceps to clamp and take out the component and cut closer to the anus using a manual handle to remove the device.A circular stapling device was then used to complete the anastomosis.This led to tissue loss and over 30 minutes extended surgical time.
