Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during a hysteroscopy polypectomy the soft tissue shaver was not dissecting properly, appeared slow, and seemed blunt.The dense tissue shaver plus was then used, but the situation did not improve.A reusable hand instrument was also tried, resulting in only a very slight improvement.The polyp being removed was over 3 cm in size.Due to the performance of the devices, the procedure had to be completed using bipolar resection, which was not initially available in the hospital.This switch extended the surgical time by one hour.
