Narrative

Description of Event or Problem

WE WERE USING ENDOSCOPIC SCISSORS TO REMOVE THE CINCH FROM A PREVIOUSLY SUTURED AREA IN THE ESOPHAGUS. WE PUT THE ENDO SCISSORS DOWN THE SCOPE BUT THEN COULD NOT CLOSE THE SCISSORS. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE PAIR OF SCISSORS HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND WERE UNABLE TO BE USED ANYMORE. THEREFORE, WE HAD TO REMOVE THE SCOPE TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE SCISSORS. THEN WE HAD TO GET ANOTHER PAIR OF ENDO SCISSORS TO COMPLETE THE TASK.
