Which aspect is NOT included in the surgical case review?

The aspect that is not included in the surgical case review pertains to cases with elements missing in the preoperative anesthesia consultation. Surgical case reviews primarily focus on analyzing and evaluating the actual surgical procedures, outcomes, and complications that occur during surgery. This includes assessing the justification for the surgery based on clinical indications, reviewing cases with serious complications, and evaluating cases that result in mortality.

While the preoperative anesthesia consultation is a crucial aspect of surgical readiness and patient safety, it is typically addressed separately from the surgical case review itself. The surgical case review concentrates more on the procedural aspects and outcomes rather than the preoperative planning processes, which means missing elements in anesthesia consultations do not directly fall under the purview of a surgical case review.
