Abstract
CONCLUSION: Instrument utilization in the Gynecologic operating room is low but comparable to other surgical specialties, and the cost of processing instruments is significant. Availability of certain instruments is necessary for patient safety in the event of rare unexpected events. However, given that significantly less than half of the instruments pulled for surgery are utilized and that total processing cost per instrument exceeds three dollars, careful review of what instruments are included in each tray and elimination of wasted resource allocation can result in significant cost savings without reducing safety.
