Raising awareness of “Near-Miss,” retained surgical sharps
In 2018, Sam Weprin, MD, started his first year of residency in Urology. During one of his first prostatectomy cases, he witnessed an impeccable surgery performed by the attending surgeon. Unfortunately, a surgical needle went missing inside the patient. The surgeon and her team spent an hour searching for it, but even with the use of X-ray, they did not find the needle. They closed the patient and disclosed the incident to the patient’s family.
