The goal of this study is to discuss the topic of removing improper accessories from preoperative patients. Two subjects will be studied: 1.the frequency of forgotten materials, and 2.the reasons for ignoring the rules. This study was performed in a surgical department of a medical center. The results showed that the most common non-removed improper things of pre-operation patients were artificial teeth, hair accessories and watches. The most common cause of non removal is nurses failing to re-check and to educate patients, or the patients did not obey the nurses' orders. There are some methods useful for improving the problem, 1.Educate in pre-operation knowledge earlier with detail and help patients to check, 2.Standardized the recheck procedures while sending patient to the operating room. 3.The routing of pre-operations should be flexible for different operations.
