An investigation found implements hadn’t been counted properly. Full story:
By Caroline Gall & Keri TriggA piece of equipment was left inside a patient during surgery at a Shropshire hospital, a report has revealed.
The error went unnoticed as theatre staff failed to follow a theatre count policy and the patient was left suffering increased pain and anxiety.The patient was undergoing a transurethral resection of the prostate , an operation to cut away a section of the prostate, when the device used to carry out the procedure, called a resectoscope, broke.
"When the piece of equipment was thought to be lost, the correct procedure, as per the trust's theatre count policy, was not adhered to," the report said.The mistake also led to the patient having to have a catheter in for longer than would otherwise have been necessary.
