A surgical tool 'the size of a dinner plate' has been discovered inside a woman's abdomen 18 months after undergoing a C-section while giving birth to her child.
A surgical tool "the size of a dinner plate" has been discovered inside a woman's abdomen 18 months after undergoing a caesarean section while giving birth to her child, health officials have confirmed.
At the time of her procedure, a host of operating room theatre staff were present at the C-section, including a surgeon, a senior registrar, an instrument nurse, three circulating nurses, two anesthetists, two anesthetic technicians, and a theater midwife, officials said. "However, the surgeon stated that this was too small for the incision, so it was removed and replaced with an extra-large AWR," officials said.
Two of the nurses present said they had no recollection of the case. However, one of the nurses recalls opening a second AWR. She noted that this was very unusual, and they had never had to do so before or since.
