Event Description
|
A male patient underwent an aquablation procedure for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph).Procept biorobotics corporation became aware that post-aquablation procedure, the treating surgeon observed blood discharge from the right ureteral orifice (uo).However, upon examination within the bladder, the uo appeared undamaged and unaffected.The procedure was successfully completed, but the next day, the patient developed hydronephrosis, leading to the placement of a nephroureteral stent.During this process, the doctor identified a minor hole or leak in the ureter.Upon a follow-up conversation and investigation, procept determined that there was no evidence of tissue damage around the uo that would suggest it was caused by the waterjet or loop used during the aquablation procedure.It was also reported that the patient had only one kidney, indicating the possibility of pre-existing conditions that could have contributed to the event.The patient is reported to be recovering well.No malfunction of the aquabeam robotic system was reported.
