AbstractSurgery plays a prominent role in healthcare worldwide. It has been estimated that the rate of fatal events occurring in surgery is about one in ten thousand exposures and up to one million deaths per year. Most errors are caused by failure of non-technical skills. The WHO surgical safety checklist has shown that patient safety could be improved by using a simple and effective method. However, achieving high compliance requires research, training and local adaptation.
