“…The absence of formal documentation meant that OR personnel needed to recall skills taught in RALRP training sessions or depend on senior personnel to set up the OR and complete the procedure. This situation was less than ideal because RALRP procedures require a complex OR setup and OR personnel who have had intensive training and regular practice and who are committed to patient safety and OR efficiency 15 …”

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist, well‐known internationally, is a 19‐item surgical checklist that personnel conduct at three phases in the perioperative setting to ensure patient safety 15 . The WHO introduced the checklist in 2009 after a study undertaken by Gawande and colleagues 17 between 2007 and 2008 under the Safe Surgery Saves Lives program showed a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality with use of the checklist 18…”

Robotic surgical systems are relatively new in New Zealand and have been used mainly for laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Checklists are successfully used in other industries and health care facilities, so we developed a checklist for use during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) procedures. After a two-month trial using the checklist, we calculated the completeness of each phase of the checklist as a percentage of the number of completed checklists versus total number of compliant checklists in that phase. Operating room personnel participated in an audiotaped focus group and discussed their perceptions about using the RALRP checklist. We collected, transcribed, and reviewed the focus group discussion and thematically analyzed the responses, which confirmed that the checklist served as a guideline and reminder during the setup. Additionally, staff members associated the checklist with improved OR readiness, minimized workflow interruption, improved efficiency, and positive changes in confidence and teamwork.
