Objective |
To evaluate the use of radiopaque stickers during endoscopic surgical cases to prevent wrong side surgery.
Methods |
We used radiopaque markers before planned endoscopic surgery to ensure correct side surgery. These markers are labeled “R” and “L” and are identifiable during fluoroscopy.
Results |
These markers were a valuable tool to prevent wrong side endoscopic upper tract procedures. They were also well-accepted by patients at their preoperative surgical verification process.
Conclusion |
Radiopaque stickers can assist in the prevention of wrong side surgery during upper tract endoscopic procedures.
