A piece of equipment was left inside a patient who underwent surgery at one of Shropshire’s acute hospitals, a report has revealed.
The mistake happened when part of a tool broke off during a procedure, but went unnoticed as theatre staff failed to follow the hospital’s theatre count policy.
“Resectoscope loops have always been manipulated by urology surgeons for some patients where a better cut is required. The report says it was due to an error in the x-ray archiving and communication system, compounded by “an unprecedented backlog in reporting due to workforce capacity and demand on the service”.
