During the removal of a 6l ovarian cyst, the initial trocar was placed very shallowly.After the trocar was removed from the cannula, the 5/8mm swab was used to clean the cannula prior to inserting the scope.After this was done, the staff immediately noticed that approximately 3/4ths of the foam tip had torn loose.The scope was inserted and the surgeon began to look for the missing foam piece.After approximately 90 minutes of searching and xrays, they completed the ovarian cyst procedure and found the foam tip it between the peritoneum and the facial muscle.
