Preventing Wrong-Level Spine Surgery.
Acta Neurochir Suppl
November 2024
McMaster University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Importance: Wrong-level spine surgery (WLSS), a medical error in which a surgeon operates at an unintended vertebral level, is considered a "never event." However, it continues to be a problem in spine surgery today despite the implementation of preventive measures such as the Universal Protocol. The consequences of this event are severe for both the afflicted patient and the treating physician and may result not only in physical harm but also in costly medicolegal proceedings.

Purpose: Errors in the identification of true patients in a health-care facility may result in the wrong dose or dosage being given to the wrong patient at the wrong site during radiotherapy sessions, radiopharmaceutical administration, radiological scans, etc. The aim of this article is to reduce the error in the identification of correct patients by implementation of the Python deep learning-based real-time patient identification program.
Materials And Methods: The authors utilized and installed Anaconda Prompt (miniconda 3), Python (version 3.
Objectives: The aim was to assess the prevalence of never events (NEs) specific to urology in the United Kingdom and identify commonly occurring themes.
Methods: Data from the National Health Service (NHS) NEs website were obtained and all NEs from 2012 to 2022 were reviewed. Urology-specific NEs were identified and further analysed in their respective categories.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Spine Pathways and the Role of Perioperative Checklists.
Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg

Division of Neurosurgery, Quincy Medical Group, Quincy, USA.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) proposes a multimodal, evidence-based approach to perioperative care. ERAS pathways have been shown to help reduce complications, hospital length of stay (LOS), 30-day readmission rates, pain scores, and ultimately surgical costs, while improving patient satisfaction scores and outcomes in multiple surgical subspecialties [1-6]. Numerous specialties have implemented ERAS programs across the globe, providing a foundation for spine surgeons to begin the process themselves.
