During a diagnostic/operative laparoscopy procedure, an optical trocar with fixation cannula was used when entering the abdomen with the scope.Upon entry, the scope and introducer were removed from the trocar sleeve; however the introducer did not come out of the pt with the top of the trocar.When the trocar sleeve was removed, the introducer did not come out with the sleeve.The procedure was converted to an open laparotomy to find the missing trocar piece.All pieces of the trocar were found and removed from pt during procedure.
