Event or Problem Description
According to the reporter, during a laparoscopic procedure, it was discovered that the needle was broken into two pieces.One fell off the device when it was removed but was found on the floor.The other piece was thought to have been retained inside the patient.The surgeon and fellow helped searching but were unable to find the second broken piece.The portable x-ray did not detect the second piece.The missing part was estimated to be approximately 4.5mm, so very small.Unlikely to require surgical removal even if it was retained and could be found.
