Despite recent investments into reducing errors and adverse events in health care, methods for quality improvement in surgery are outdated and ineffective. Most current efforts in this field are centred around morbidity and mortality conferences (MMCs), which have remained unchanged for over 100 years. The present study aimed to quantify the recall bias associated with details from surgical cases.
