  • InjurySep 21, 2026Detachment of Device or Device Component

    According to the reporter, the patient underwent an atrial septal defect repair. During suturing, the needle detached from the 5-0 suture. The surgical staff observed that only the suture remained in the needle holder and that the needle was missing. A search was conducted on and around the operating table, as well as within the surgical incision; however, the needle could not be located. Theradiology department was immediately notified, and bedside digital radiography was performed, which revealed that the suture needle was located within the patient's incision. The needle was subsequently removed surgically without delay.
