DESIGN: Retrospective medical record review as part of a quality improvement process. SETTING: Single academic medical center. PATIENTS: Patients identified through the quality improvement process as having had retained foreign bodies after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Sentinel events such as retained foreign bodies after surgery require intensive review to identify systems problems. This can lead to protocol changes to improve the process.
