Event or Problem Description
|
|
Average gall bladder, routine case.Nothing of significance to note about procedure.Should have been an easy extraction of specimen.Surgeon widened incision to accommodate the bag/specimen as it started to stretch immediately.Surgeon wanted to avoid a break, so he widened the incisino a second time and widened the surgical site with kelly style instrument.After a very short time, and minimal effort to extract bag/specimen the bag ripped from the distal tip up to about 2 inches.See pictures of stretched bag with large torn opening.Surgeon stated firmly that he "wanted these bags out of his or"- he called the crd by the time i arrived at her office to relay the same statement.(surgeon also noted prior to extraction that the bag would not close all the way with the cinch cord which i did observe and also observed 1st hand several times in my in-service demos with several different sample bags).
