Event Description

It was reported to boston scientific corporation that an obtryx system - halo was implanted during a procedure performed on (b)(6) 2023, on a patient with a medical history that includes endometriosis, and thrombosis of the ovarian vein.Additionally, the patient had undergone previous unrelated surgeries including three cesarean sections, tubal ligation, and right ovarian cyst laparoscopy.It was reported that after placing the mesh, the patient experienced a painful awakening with right thigh pain, perineal pain, and diffused pain on each side, a fold on the right groin, thigh stabbing sensation, difficulty to sit and stand for long periods, and difficulty in urinating.On (b)(6) 2023, a surgical revision was performed in which the right branch of the sling and the left partial branch of the mesh were removed.During the hospital stay for the procedure, the patient received additional tests which included a blood test and computed tomography (ct) scans of the abdomen and pelvis; both of which had normal results.No signs of hematoma, infection or inflammatory syndrome were identified.Additionally, the patient had a doppler echography of the right inguinal fold which found a small thrombus.; therefore, the patient was given eliquis for medication.The patient noted having several emergency visits and multiple appointments where she underwent magnetic resonance imaging (mri), translabial echography, back mri, angiography scanner, cardio assessment and was on a palliative care for pain.The patient was hospitalized for pain management from (b)(6) 2023.Medical imaging was examined on (b)(6) 2023, noting no abnormality of the hysterectomy site, a partially severed sling with residual left-side arm and a small distal portion of right-side arm present, and important cervico-urethral hypermobility without evidence of obvious sphincter insufficiency.The patient current state included depression, chronic pain, difficulty walking and intimate life reduced to nothing.
