Event Description

The following information was reported: a 3 french, 4 wire basket was placed around the distal aspect of the stone during a ureteroscopy.The stone was engaged and slightly dislodged inferiorly, but it was clearly impacted against the side wall of the ureter.As a result, there was an attempt to disengage the stone basket, but the stone basket failed and would not disengage.Multiple attempts at disengagement were tried.The matter of recourse was to cut the stone basket wire proximal to the control handle.Several wires that navigated the stone were then sequentially cut until the basket disengaged.Due to the necessary tension applied to the stone basket to manually disengage it in the above mentioned manner, there clearly was some mild trauma to the ureteral wall and mucosa.A retrograde showed some extravasation.Several attempts at repeat guidewire placement up the ureter were unsuccessful and the bladder was then drained.The device was fully removed from the patient and the patient was taken to the recovery room in satisfactory condition.The patient was in operating room under general anesthesia when event occurred.Based upon the information received, there was no report of the patient requiring any additional procedures as a result of this occurrence.
