A facility reported that \"during a laparoscopic procedure, the retractor cev416 flexible dia 5mm (cev416) was introduced through a 5 mm trocar.The adjustment knob was tightened to shape the retractor and position it beneath the liver.A liver laceration occurred, requiring bipolar hemostasis and the use of hemostatic agents, followed by removal of the retractor.Upon removal, a fracture was observed at the distal hinge, revealing a sharp metal fragment that had caused the significant liver injury.\" it is unknown if the failure led to an increase in surgical time.
