    ACCORDING TO THE REPORTER, DURING A LAPAROSCOPIC PROCEDURE CONVERTED TO OPEN TOTAL ABDOMINAL COLECTOMY, WHEN THE SURGEON TRANSECTED THE RECTUM USING THE DEVICE, THE STAPLER WAS ABLE TO FIRE BUT DEPLOYED SLIGHTLY AND DID NOT GO ANY FURTHER. INITIALLY HAD TROUBLE REMOVING THE RELOAD. ANOTHER RELOAD WAS USED, HOWEVER SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WITH THE STAPLER AND RELOAD MISFIRED. AFTER SOME ADDITIONAL FORCE, THE RELOAD WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE STAPLER BUT NOT UNTIL A NEW HANDLE WAS ALREADY OPENED. THERE WAS NO PATIENT INJURY.
