Preoperative Site Marking: Are We Adhering to Good Surgical Practice?

Conclusions Based on our findings, surgeons may not be adhering to “Good Surgical Practice”; practice is widely variable and surgeons are largely opposed and resistant to marking patients unless laterality is involved. We suggest that all surgeons need to be actively engaged in the design of local marking protocols to gain support, change practice, and reduce errors.
