Want to know how many times in your institution has the first inserted trocar nicked the aorta? I would like to know because it happened in our institution today and I heard that it had happened once before....it is a tragic thing when it happens...it's just that the surgeon who was operating didn't realize right away that she punctured the aorta....she thought that she was having some reaction to the anesthesia so they didn't just convert right away....the patient is now in intensiv e critical care
