Event or Problem Description
According to the reporter, during a laparoscopic bariatric revision procedure, while gj (gastrojejunostomy) anastomosis was being performed, the white spike or white adapter fell into the patient's cavity and was not retrieved.The surgeon was unable to locate the component.The patient experienced pain, thus a ct scan was performed.This confirmed a foreign object was present in the patient's body.Two to three weeks following the initial surgery, the patient was brought back for reoperation to remove the component.The white plastic piece was then successfully removed.It was also noted that abscess had formed.This led to extended hospitalization and temporary injury.The patient was fine and had recovered.
