Event Description

It was reported that a patient underwent a laparoscopic right half surgery on (b)(6) 2023 and absorbable adhesion barriers were used.An abscess developed on an unknown date in (b)(6) 2023 under the abdominal wall, thus, emergency operation was performed and the products were removed.The surgeon opined that no sutures were inadequate and there was no intraoperative contamination during the first surgery, so probably the products were the cause of the event.Additional information has been requested.
