Event Description

According to the reporter, following a vascular surgery, a complication occurred when three sutures were accidentally cut during the surgeon's attempt to repair the arteries.An operation was conducted a week later, revealing a large hematoma at the surgical site, confirming suture dehiscence as the cause, an occurrence unfamiliar to the surgeon.The patient experienced complications a week after the initial surgery.Fortunately, the patient was still hospitalized, preventing what could have been a tragedy had they been discharged.The event led to an extension of the patient's hospitalization.
