Awareness regarding surgical errors, its occurrence and their coping strategies among the surgeons of BPKIHS

The high incidence of minor errors seems to be acceptable part of learning in teaching institute where trainees are frequently involved in patient care. None of the error was major because in teaching institute like ours, the trainees are at frontline in patient care but are always under supervision of senior clinicians. All errors have occurred during the early phase of surgical training. There is need of targeted interventions, including training, support systems, and institutional reforms to reduce surgical errors and improve surgeon well-being.
