Surfacing Unanticipated Complications

A pediatric urology patient at Sourasky Medical Center underwent robotic ureteral reimplantation.

The case was expected to be routine and no unique intraoperative events were apparent during the case.

But a post-surgical debrief guided by Theator’s Surgical Intelligence Platform surfaced an adverse event that went unnoticed intraoperatively…

Better Post-Op Care

Thanks to this post-surgical debrief the team was able to identify an opportunity to improve their surgical technique, and the patient’s care team was able to better anticipate and prepare for postoperative complications, while also highlighting potential improvement in surgical technique for future procedures.
