Application of microwave surgical instrument to lung segmentectomy for small-sized lung cancerCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]

JTCVS Techniques
Objectives: For lung segmentectomy of small lung cancers, we used a microwave surgical instrument for lung parenchymal dissection mainly at the pulmonary hilum, which is difficult to handle with surgical staplers. This technique facilitated the insertion

Observed rates of surgical instrument errors point to visualization tasks as being a critically vulnerable point in sterile processing and a significant cause of lost chargeable OR minutes [PDF]

BMC Surgery
Background The reporting of surgical instrument errors historically relies on cumbersome, non-automated, human-dependent, data entry into a computer database that is not integrated into the electronic medical record.
