Pt came to operating room for resection of portion of colon due to perforation.During the procedure dr (b)(6) and dr (b)(6) were reconnecting remaining sigmoid bowel to rectum via covidien stapler (eea 33 m - 4.8 mm circular stapler).Upon removal of the stapler after firing (was within green and turned 2 full turns prior to removing) it was noted that the stapler miss fired and did not fully penetrate to tissue causing a clonic injury to the rectum portion.Due to this the pt required a colostomy placement when she otherwise would not have needed one and will now need to come back to surgery for colostomy reversal in the future.
