According to the reporter, during a laparoscopic colectomy procedure, while in the middle of the operation, there was an air leak from the trocar and abdominal wall.When the clip on the blue grip part was clamped and the grip was twisted and inserted into the abdominal wall, the clip part got detached but did not fall into the abdominal cavity since it was fixated on the abdominal wall with absorbable sutures.To resolve the issue, a new device from another manufacturer was used.There was no patient injury.
