With surgery comes risk. The risk associated with surgery can increase or decrease depending on the type of procedure being performed and the health of the patient. In Canada, doctors are required to inform their patients of the risks associated with any surgical procedure and obtain a signed consent form before performing any surgical procedure. Surgical error can occur before, during or after any procedure.
Surgical error often occurs for the following reasons:
- Failure to properly plan or prepare for surgery
- Failure to monitor a patient during and after surgery
- Physician fatigue
- Performing a surgery while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Negligence
- Lack of communication
