Patient undergone enplace repair and developed an apical failure in a matter of weeks.After a long discussion of management options, she elected for enplace once again.Of note, anatomically, her uterus was very atrophic.I was convinced that the failure was due to lack of adequate tissue bites of the cervix with the suture.As such, on the repeat, i made greater effort to involve the cervix in the passes of needle by taking more substantial bites.In the end of the case, there was excellent lift of the apex tissue.I was told about 4-5 days later that she had been admitted with sbo.The surgeon found that the suture had caught a short segment of the ileum.The was excised and repaired.She is now recovering well.Case date: (b)(6) 2023.Facility: (b)(6).The patient injury occurred during the hysteropexy procedure, which is not device related.The suture placement through the small bowel could have occurred, regardless of the approach for sacrospinus ligament suture placement.The small bowel injury occurred during the suspension of the cervix which is a routine step in hysteropexy, regardless of surgical tools employed.
