Event or Problem Description
|
|
A medtronic representative reported that while in a cranial resection procedure an alleged inaccuracy occurred with the navigation system.After registering and checking accuracy, the surgeon felt that they were accurate and continued with a tumor resection.However, following the resection, the surgeon took an imri scan which they merged with the pre-op mr and they saw that the tumor was still visible in the intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (imri) scan and none of it had been removed.The surgeon then checked the accuracy on the imri and it was accurate.The area resected was reported to be very close to the actual location of the tumor but was at least 5mm off.The site then took a small sample and decided to close and will take an image on a following day.There was a reported delay to the procedure of less than 1 hour due to this issue and the patient was affected as a result.
