Decision-Making
RifatLati
“In a surgeon (Foreword to: Marx Thorek. Surgical Errors and Safeguards, Fourth
edition, Philadelphia: J.B.Lippincott Company; 1943.), there is no quality of mind more
to be desired than that of judgment. It is judgment even more than skill that makes him
truly a successful surgeon.”
Hugh Devine, 19431.
Introduction
In this epilogue as the concluding chapter of this
book on Surgical Decision-Making: Evidence
and Beyond, Second Edition, I want to remind
the reader one more time, the profound impact
that these decisions have on the lives of our
patients, and frankly in our own lives as surgeons
as well. Each page of every chapter of this book,
each case presented and analyzed, and each
insight shared by the authors have deepened our
understanding and brought us closer to the
nuances and dynamic nature of surgical
decision-making.
As we reect on the myriad factors that inuence surgical decision-making, it becomes clear
that it is not merely a matter of following guide-

lines or protocols, or check list. It is a delicate
dance between art and science, a harmonious
blend of technical prociency and human compassion. Moreover, it is a culmination of experience, intuition, education, and unwavering
dedication to patient care that forms the foundation upon which these critical decisions are made.
These decisions, however, in case of emergencies
and when things are seemingly out of control, are
not always understandable by the team, and only
the surgeon may be able to explain the decision,
although not all the time.
Through the exploration of real-life scenarios
and review of the evidence in each chapter of this
book, and often real-life practices described by
authors, I am hoping that collectively as a group
of surgeons, interested in surgical decisionmaking, we have advanced the understanding of
this complex process and further uncovered the
inherent complexities and challenges that surgeons face in the decision-making process. In
doing so, this book reviews the role of and the
evolution of surgical practices, through advancements in technology, and the shifting paradigms
that shape our approach to patient care.

But let me warn you the reader: if you were
expecting to completely grasp how surgicalmaking decision by the conclusion of this book,
you may nd that you are not completely satised [1]. Although we have delved into various
aspects of this intricate topic, there are still many
unknowns that necessitate further research. This
research should be conducted by surgeons working together with experts who specialize in
understanding the mind, brain function, and
methods for inuencing or training the brain.
In his book “Modern Surgery” published as a
second edition in late 1939, Professor Max
Thorek, the founder of International College of
Surgeons, quotes the renowned English surgeon
Lord Moynihan in the rst chapter titled “The
Surgeon and his Art.”
Surgery is not only a matter of operating skill-
fully. It must engage in its service qualities of mind
and heart that raise it to the very highest pinnacle
of human endeavor. A patient can offer you no
higher tribute than to entrust you with his life and
his health, and by implication, with the happiness
of all his family. To be worthy of this trust we must
submit for a lifetime to the constant discipline of
unwearied effort in the search of knowledge, and
most reverent devotion to every detail in every
operation that we perform [2–4].
Professor Thorek continues his chapter with:
“ There is no human calling which demands from
those who follow it a greater endowment of the
best human qualities and the highest developments
of technical knowledge and skill than art of sur-
gery.” Further, he writes “On the other hand, the
surgeon’s judgment, knowledge and skill may save
a life otherwise doomed; Erroneous or careless
surgical procedures may and often do bring either
death or life-long misery to a patient who has had
a comparatively easily corrected condition” [2].
I should add to these beautifully written
words, that should guide every surgeon, that
avoiding carelessness and adventurous surgical
behavior is a must for every surgeon, every student of surgery, every member of the surgical
team, irrespective the stage of their surgical life.
The only way to do so, it is for us surgeons to be
prepared well, have utmost respect for every procedure, and know everything that is to know
about the patient, including past surgical history,
the anatomy (often distorted from previous pro-
cedures), physiology and patients state of mind,
and patient’s wishes and goals of end-of-life.
After thoroughly studying Thorek’s comprehensive insights, I have come to appreciate more
the complexity and signicance of surgery, which
has long been regarded as one of the noblest arts.
While surgical decision-making has evolved over
the years, maintaining respect for the patient, disease, and procedures, as well as a commitment to
continuous improvement, remains constant. The
inherent complexity of making surgical decisions
is deeply ingrained in the hearts, minds, and their
beings of surgeons.
The methods of surgical decision-making in
the present day differ from those used in the
past, with technological advancements revolutionizing the eld of medicine and surgery. The
convergence of surgeon intuition, creativity, and
knowledge and comfort with cutting-edge medical technologies has led to a signicant transformation in the practice of surgery. Innovations
such as laparoscopy, robotics, nanotechnology,
genetics, virtual reality, and bioengineering
have reshaped the surgical landscape, empowering patients to actively engage in their own
healthcare and achieve better outcomes. As a
result, hospitals have adapted to support these
advancements, and surgeons have embraced a
patient- centered, disease-focused, technologydriven, and collaborative approach to healthcare
[5, 6].
However, despite the various considerations
discussed in this book, the ultimate decisions
regarding whether to operate, when to operate,
and which approach to take rely solely on the surgeon, and it is a complex interplay of experience
of the surgeon, intuition, education, training,
exposure, and the surgeon’s commitment to providing the best possible care for the patient.
When evaluating the advancements in technology across the spectrum, it is evident that surgical outcomes have improved, leading to
reduced morbidity and mortality rates and a
higher quality of life for patients. However, at its
essence, surgical decision-making transcends
mere evidence-based explanations; it lies at the
heart of being a surgeon. It involves blending
technical expertise with a relentless drive to heal

patients and a constant willingness to question
and evaluate our own actions.
It is crucial for surgeons to recognize that not
every decision made will be correct, and it is
essential to acknowledge and learn from mistakes
when they occur. True surgical competence
involves an ongoing process of self-reection
and a willingness to continuously strive for
improvement.
To quote again Professor Max Thorek: “To
fail to admit one’s mistakes is to block progress; an honest declaration of error is the rst
step toward its correction. In this age of cooperation in the science of healing, the surgeon
who fears loss of prestige through acknowledgment of fault violates not only faith to himself,
but also unjust to his calling” [7].
Acknowledging potential mistakes in decisionmaking can undoubtedly lead us to discover
new approaches when caring for future patients.
Most importantly, will teach the new generations of surgeons dealing with our own errors,
and learn from such mistakes.
Ultimately, we aspire for this collaborative
effort to motivate others to focus their research
endeavors on this subject. Particularly, experienced surgeons should strive to elucidate their
decision-making processes more effectively.
Integrating discussions on decision-making into
surgical planning and team debriengs could be a
valuable practice for every surgeon, as advocated
by the senior author of this chapter.
As I reect on the conclusion of this journey
that began several years ago, the decision to
embark on the creation of the second edition of
this book lls me with a sense of hope and
renewed creativity. On a very personal note,
among >20 book manuscripts I have been
involved with over the years, this one stands out
as the pinnacle of my satisfaction. Instead of
experiencing fatigue, I found myself energized
and genuinely delighted with the nal result. I
hope that this book has ignited a spark of curiosity and reection in our readers, prompting them
to delve deeper into the intricacies of surgical
decision-making. May it serve as a catalyst for
further research, dialogue, and collaboration
among surgeons, educators, and healthcare professionals, driving us toward excellence and
innovation in the eld of surgery.
In closing, I extend my gratitude to all those
who have contributed to this collective effort and
to the patients who entrust us with their care. The
journey of surgical decision-making is a continuous one, marked by challenges, triumphs, and
opportunities for growth, an often with disappointments, that we never forget, but learn from.
Let us embrace this journey with humility, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to providing
the best possible care for those who place their
trust in our hands.
