Proposal of a Surgical Security Checklist in Podiatric Surgery

Manuel Coheña Jiménez, Jaime García París, Antonio Córdoba-Fernández, José María Juárez-Jiménez and Pedro Montaño Jiménez

The authors propose a surgical security check-list adapted to the podiatric surgery. This check-list is based on the Surgical Security Checklist proposed by the World Health Organization. The proposed document contains 18 items divided into two groups: those which are checked before the surgery and those which must be verified after it, before the patient leaves the operating room. The checklist is characterized as being an easy-to- use tool, it requires a short time and permits to systematically increase the patient safety. The authors think that the result is a checklist that is easy to fill and that improves the patient safety in the podiatric surgery.
