A CCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

Precis

Intraoperative adverse events occur often, have a significant negative impact on surgeons’

wellbeing, and barriers to transparency are fear of litigation and absence of a well-defined

reporting system. Efforts should be made to support surgeons and standardize reporting when

intraoperative adverse events occur.
