Background
Gossypiboma, the accidental retention of surgical sponges within a patient's body, remains a significant challenge in modern healthcare. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and protocols, human error and the complexity of certain procedures continue to contribute to this preventable complication. To address this issue, we are developing an innovative approach that leverages the power of technology to enhance surgical sponge tracking and reduce the risk of gossypiboma.
Objective: To revolutionize surgical sponge tracking and prevention of gossypiboma by integrating a camera and AI tracking system into the surgical workflow.
Our research aims to:
Enhance patient safety: Significantly reduce the risk of gossypiboma, a serious complication that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.
Improve surgical efficiency: Streamline the surgical process by automating sponge counting and verification, reducing the potential for human error.
Advance surgical technology: Introduce a groundbreaking technological solution that can be applied to a wide range of surgical procedures.
Foster collaboration: Promote interdisciplinary collaboration between healthcare professionals, engineers, and computer scientists to drive innovation in surgical safety.
Establish new standards: Set new industry standards for surgical sponge tracking and prevention, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
