Hospital and departmental level strategies for managing the impact of adverse events on surgeons

Urol Oncol. 2024 Mar 20:S1078-1439(24)00347-8. doi: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.03.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdverse events have a profound impact on surgeons. This impact extends to physical and mental health, psychological wellbeing, and professional performance. Surgeons are ill prepared for these consequences of adverse events and are under-supported when they inevitably occur. Here we review the data on how adverse events affect surgeons. We explore the efforts made to date to both prepare surgeons before and support them after such events and we make recommendations regarding how this should and could be done better.PMID:38514276 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.03.002
