BACKGROUNDEmergency surgery increases the risk of a retained surgical sponge (RSS) by 9-fold. In most cases, surgical counts are falsely reported as correct. We hypothesized that the institutional costs resulting from a RSS would make routine intraoperative radiography (IOR) more cost-effective than surgical counts in preventing RSS after emergent open cavity cases.METHODSA cost-effectiveness analysis was performed to compare routine IOR with surgical counts after emergent open cavity operations. Parameter estimates were obtained from the literature, expert opinion via a standardized survey, and existing institutional data.RESULTSRoutine IOR was the preferred strategy (705vs 1155 per patient) under the assumptions of the base case. The surgical count strategy was dominated by the institutional costs incurred after a RSS. Routine IOR was preferential as long as the sensitivity of surgical counts was less than 98% and the legal fees were more than 44,000percaseofRSS.CONCLUSIONSRoutineIORisasimple,cost-effectiveoptiontoreducetheoccurrenceofthispreventablemedicalerror.InstitutionalcostsandlegalfeesassociatedwithRSSdominatethecostofthesurgicalcountstrategy,makingroutineIORamorecost-effectivestrategythansurgicalcountsgiventhebestavailableparameterestimates.
