„Fehler“ sind ein häufiges Problem in der Medizin: von 3846 Patienten erleidet während eines Krankenhausaufenthalts mindestens einer ein Schadensereignis mit invalidisierenden oder gar tödlichen Konsequenzen. Gerade die Chirurgie ist durch den invasiven Charakter ihrer therapeutischen Maßnahmen für Fehler anfällig. In diesem Artikel wird der „Fehler in der Chirurgie“ beleuchtet. Dabei werden Klassifikation, juristische Aspekte, Ursachen, Folgen sowie Analyse- und Präventionsmöglichkeiten besprochen. Wichtige Ansätze zur Fehlervermeidung sind dabei aus den Bereichen der Luftfahrt, der Automobilindustrie und der Kernenergie hervorgegangen.
