  • InjuryJul 31, 2026Break

    It was reported that a patient underwent an unknown cardiovascular surgery on an unknown date and suture was used for buried dermal closure. During the procedure, the needle was broken. It occurred with 2 sutures with the same lot in a row. Half of the needle remained inside the patient's body. The doctor insisted that nothing could possibly remain inside the patient's body, so the incision was closed; however, a foreign matter was detected on the post-operative X-ray, and a CT scan revealed that the tip of one of the two broken pieces had not been found, and that approximately half of that piece remained inside the patient's body. Reoperation was performed but the broken needle was not found. The patient is stable after reoperation. The surgeon opined that at least, it had not fallen into the thoracic cavity, so it may be expelled eventually. The patient will proceed with observation. As the patient had a history of the same surgery, it is possible that the skin was stiff. Additional information was requested.
