It was reported that during a da vinci-assisted surgical procedure, the connection point (metal part) between the bladder and the ring was found to be broken on the access port.This meant the bladder was no longer leak-proof.Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) followed up with the initial reporter and obtained the following additional information: the procedure was a single port cholecystectomy.The access port was not thoroughly inspected, but there was no significant/visible damage.There was a gas leak during the surgery (due to the defective port).No fragments fell in the patient.

Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) obtained the following information from the customer: the loss of insufflation (pressure) became weaker but did not completely disappear; it was not quick but steady.The reporter did not know if there was a loss of the pneumoperitoneum.The "metal part" is most likely the white particle that came off the incision port.There was no patient injury due to the issue.The procedure was completed with the help of the da vinci system.There was no conversion.
