To review the nature and causes of surgical errors and examine how simulation can be used to identify, teach, and prevent them.
Analyzed the conceptual classification of medical errors and the predisposing factors that lead to surgical complications.
Evaluated the application of simulator-based training paradigms for teaching error recognition and mitigation strategies in a risk-free environment.
Surgical simulators provide a safe, risk-free environment to deliberately reproduce, analyze, and learn from procedural errors.
Simulation training allows clinicians to investigate error precursors and develop structured avoidance strategies to improve clinical outcomes.

Intervention

Surgical simulation training

Simulators in surgical training provide a safe environment to understand, teach, and develop strategies to avoid medical errors.
