Event Description

It was reported the dilator caused a bowel perforation.This was the physician's first time using the device.The operation began at 4:00pm.The operating physician had no idea how deep he should have advanced the dilator into the stomach.The operating physician focused more on the dilator which he was advancing, he could not recognize that the outer part of the dilator held by another hand was sliding toward the stomach.The dilator was advanced too much and perforated the posterior wall of the stomach.There was no bleeding.The perforation was endoscopically clipped.A computed tomography (ct) was performed to confirmed closure.The physician decided to delay the start of enteral feeding for a week.No additional information was provided.
