Event Description

Olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received a literature titled "comparison of endoscopic injection of botulinum toxin and steroids immediately after endoscopic submucosal dissection to prevent esophageal stricture: a prospective cohort study".The literature reported the result of 78 patients with early esophageal cancer who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (esd) procedure using olympus hookknife and dualknife.In the literature, the following complications have been reported to have occurred.Small amount of bleeding (6 cases).Muscular injury (24 cases).Died (2 cases).Intraoperative perforation (3 cases).Additional treatments (7 cases).Strictures (17 cases).The literature states as follows, "seven patients were excluded from the study because they received additional treatments such as additional esd (n=3), surgery (n=3) and radiation therapy for the non-curative resection based on the postoperative pathologic diagnosis (n=1).Two patients died of non-digestive diseases and three patients had intraoperative perforation and were also excluded from our study".Based on the available information, specific information on the subject device and the patients were not provided.There is no description of the device's malfunction.However, omsc assumes that "intraoperative perforation" might be related to the subject device, and the subject device might be caused or contributed to a death or serious injury.In addition, omsc determined that "died" and "additional treatments" had nothing to do with the subject device in question because of the description of "non-digestive diseases" and "based on the postoperative pathologic diagnosis".Also, omsc determined that "small amount of bleeding", "muscular injury" and "strictures" are not serious events based on the descriptions in the literature.Therefore, omsc determined that the "intraoperative perforation" was adverse event to submit.Omsc will submit a medical device report (mdr) depending on the event.
