How Does Wrong Site Surgery Occur?

Typically, wrong site surgery occurs with symmetrical body parts: kidneys, knees, hand, feet, eyes, etc. Additionally, one patient may be operated on instead of the correct one, or it may be unclear as to which procedure is supposed to be performed. Other causes can include:

• When multiple professionals deal with one patient, information may be lost or misinterpreted.
• There may be a lack of specific methods of double-checking the details of a surgical procedure.
• Time limits and pressure may cause stress on a surgeon.
