When the surgeon left the operating table and recorded, the two doctors were responsible for suture wounds.

After completing the first count, the scrub nurse indicated that the first count was correct, but the retractor was still in use. After the second counting started, the number of injection needles and gauze was confirmed to be correct. The trays with retractors were not counted, but the surgeons and anesthesiologists had heard the second count correctly.

In the final enumeration, the retractable retractor was not found, and after the doctor's X-ray examination, the retractor was found. After the doctor explained to the patient, the patient was returned to the operating room and the remaining retractors were removed.

In addition, a patient with heart failure and respiratory failure who received an intubation and a central cannula, after the doctor inserted the catheter, did not find that the lead had not been removed. Nor was it recorded properly in the paramedic. In subsequent chest X-rays, the leads left in the patient's body were detected and the leads were removed.
