Sales rep reported that the surgical plan was planned for the wrong operative side.
After putting the pins in the patient, this issue was noticed and the surgeon completed the case manually.
The rep mentioned that the surgeon hadn¿t taken the time to review the pre plan properly before putting the pins in the pelvis.
Hence the delayed time to catch the issue.
Surgical delay < 5 minutes.
Case was completed manually.
Additional information received from rep: patient time out.
Realised wrong plan was loaded, due to patient name and noticed the two plans for the day had each plan been labelled for the wrong surgeon.
(i was covering for a colleague.
) when correct plan was opened the ct info was used to verify patient on table and then surgeon was keen to proceed with his pins without reviewing the plan even after i requested.
Following femoral neck cut before bone registration we notice landmarks were reversed due to the wrong side and we abandoned and went to manual.
Surgeon was happy to continue manually and with his final result, using the pre plan as a visual guide for implant sizing.
Pelvic pins inserted in stab incision of the illiac crest.
Small impaction check point placed in greater trochanter was inserted (standard procedure for robotic hips).
Case was then completed manually rendering the pelvic pins/check point unnecessary.
