The Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) is a form-based instrument for analyzing surgical risks. This SSC is commonly used to improve patient safety and decrease surgical mistakes. This systematic review uses bibliometric analysis to provide insights about SSC trends, impacts, and future research paths. A comprehensive search of major scientific databases was conducted to discover relevant articles published between 2017 and 2022. The keywords used were connected to the Surgical Safety Checklist, and bibliometric analysis was utilized to filter papers before establishing inclusion criteria to choose the most relevant research for analysis. According to this report, there is a growing global interest in this topic. Based on bibliometric analysis, it was found that there was a growth in the number of publications related to SSC in the time period studied. These findings demonstrate the growing global interest in SSC topics as key trends in research focus, including specific aspects of checklist implementation, effectiveness, and related outcomes, have been identified. The analysis also influenced countries, institutions and leading authors contributing to the field of SSC. The systematic review discusses the impact and implications of research on SSC highlighting the positive influence of SSC in improving surgical outcomes and patient safety culture in hospitals. This review also explores emerging research directions, such as the integration of new technologies and the application of SSC in different surgical specialties. Additionally, it identifies knowledge gaps and areas requiring further research to optimize effective implementation of the SSC.

“…Among these, it is noted that in ten, categorized as "Importance of the checklist", the authors emphasized the importance and need to use the list to minimize adverse events and better interaction and communication between the team that works in the Surgical Center. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Research indicates that performing a safe surgery checklist is one of the most effective tools to avoid errors and adverse events in hospitals. A study published in 2009 in The New England Journal of Medicine showed that the mortality rate and surgical complications were reduced by more than 30% in hospitals that participated in the WHO pilot program to implement the surgical checklist.…”

Goal: to analyze evidence available in the literature on the strategies used to implement the safe surgery checklist proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the surgical practice of health services. Method: integrative literature review with search for results in four databases and a digital library, establishing criteria for inclusion and exclusion; critical evaluation; interpretation and discussion. Results: We found 1,037 articles, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria and removing duplicate articles, comprising a sample of 26 publications. The central axes were evidenced by a bibliographic survey: article, authors, journals and theme related to the checklist tool that appears in different contexts of publications, which allows inferring its use in different scenarios and perspectives. Conclusion and implications for practice: The lack of adherence to the checklist has been one of the main challenges encountered in the practice of its implementation, a situation that is affected by the non-participation of team members in the process of preparing and adapting the list. The studies showed that there is a need to raise the awareness of the team, that the checklist serves as a mediation instrument for the meeting of the sector's actions, developing communication and integration.

“…According to Neiley et al (2009) ophthalmic surgery is associated with the highest rate of complications. A study conducted on the WHO checklist for ophthalmic surgery concluded that the checklist is valuable in reducing errors and improving patient safety (Weingessel et al 2016). This indirectly highlighted the importance of keeping to the original list order in ophthalmic surgery to reduce the number of incidents.…”

This study aims to explore how often the operating list is changed on the day of surgery and the reasons why this may occur. The purpose was to analyse the wider potential impact that changing the list on the day of surgery may have on patient safety, patient satisfaction and theatre efficiency. Survey data was collected across a multi-specialty elective operating department. The findings demonstrated that a significant change in operating lists occurred in 37.3% of sessions, for a variety of potentially avoidable reasons. We concluded that improved organisation and communication before the planned session could reduce the occurrence of changes, thereby increasing patient safety, theatre efficiency and potentially reducing incidents.
