Incidence and root causes of surgery cancellations at an academic medical center in Iran: a retrospective cohort study on 29,978 elective surgical cases
CONCLUSIONS: According to this study, patients' unsuitability for surgery, non-compliance with instructions, lack of time, and problems with equipment/supplies are the main reasons for canceling surgery. Proper preoperative assessment and preparation of patients and improved communication between medical teams and patients reduce the cancellation of booked surgeries.PMID:37674216 | PMC:PMC10481593 | DOI:10.1186/s13037-023-00377-6 (Source: Patient Safety in Surgery)

The safety of telemedicine clinics as an alternative to in-person preoperative assessment for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with benign gallbladder disease: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Our series showed that it is safe and feasible to assess and counsel patients for laparoscopic cholecystectomy remotely with a minimal cancellation rate on the day of operation. Further work is needed to understand the effect of remote consultations on patient satisfaction, its environmental impact, and possible benefits to healthcare economics to support its routine use in general surgery.PMID:37644474 | PMC:PMC10466851 | DOI:10.1186/s13037-023-00368-7 (Source: Patient Safety in Surgery)
