It is reported that there was a five to ten minute delay in the case as there was an inability to dilate the cervix during a hysteroscopy/myomectomy/hta ablation.Reportedly, a small truclear scope was used then a larger one with no improvement; then went back to smaller scope.Originally the smith and nephew 5.0 scope was used, then the smith and nephew 8.0 scope was attempted but found to be too large.Finally, the surgeon returned to the smith and nephew 5.0 scope to resect tissue.It is reported that the two scopes and the hp have all been used successfully since this incident.It is alleged that the physician tried to dilate by use of a larger hospital owned scope for the hta ablation portion of the case and bent the hospital owned scope.It is reported that, days after the procedure (unsure how many days), the patient was referred to another physician for an emergency hysteroscopy.It is further reported that the patient had an emergency hysterectomy due to endometrial hemorrhage.At last report there is no information available on the patient's current condition.No device will be returned for analysis as the two scopes and the hp have all been used successfully since this incident.
