Event Description
|
Information was received from a healthcare provider (hcp) regarding a patient who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins) for fecal incontinence and urinary dysfunction.It was reported that the patient had been experiencing pain and swelling at their ins site and on (b)(6) 2023 a pocket revision was completed by their hcp.The hcp indicated that the generator site was very tender with a fullness on exam.The patient had antibiotic allergies and did not have the antibiotic envelope place with the generator when originally implanted.They prescribed the patient with antibiotics that did not help with their pain.The patient went to the emergency department (ed) on (b)(6) 2023 with the ongoing worsening pain and swelling.They had a consult with a doctor that was not their implanting hcp, who noted they did not think an acute infection was present but possibly a hematoma or seroma that would resolve with time.A ct scan was also done showing a thickening in the area of the implant but no fluid collection.The provider note gave the following information regarding the patient: the patient stated the pain is constant even at rest or without being in contact with their clothing.Pain was not improving with ice or rest.They were taking oxycodone every 2 hours.They were taken off toradol in the ed and that was somewhat helpful.The patient does not wish to have the entire ins system removed as they were having significant improvement in their urinary and bowel symptoms.Their managing hcp noted that there was no sign of an acute infection.The patient was requesting a revision of the ins battery while leaving the lead in place.The hcp gave no guarantee to the patient that this would help their symptoms and the pocket revision was performed.
