During a robotic laparoscopic removal of fibroids, a clear cone shaped piece of plastic was found floating in patient's abdomen.Upon inspection all trocars being used in procedure appeared to be whole.No pieces missing.Plastic piece was removed from abdomen and placed in specimen cup.Private scrub stated she believed it may have been an internal flange from one of the 8 mm pink ports being used.8 mm ports were bagged at end of case put aside.(disassembled one to verify.) unfortunately, the team did not save any of the packaging for this device, so we cannot verify the lot number.Possible lot #: 1472552 or 1473089.Packaging not saved, we have 2 different lot numbers on our shelf.
