This research aims to explore the economic implications and the anatomy of surgical mishaps occurring infrequently.
Conducted a cost analysis of surgical mishaps at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital.
Evaluated the frequency and nature of mishaps in surgical procedures.
Analyzed financial data related to surgical errors and their impact.
Found that the financial costs of low-frequency surgical mishaps are substantial and often underestimated.
Identified key anatomical and procedural factors contributing to these mishaps, stressing the analytical approach.
Recommended strategic management practices to mitigate future occurrences and costs.

Analysis reveals the economic impact of low-frequency surgical mishaps, implying a need for better management strategies.
