improved intraoperative efficiency. The term “efficiency” in the realm of healthcare often carries an unintended connotation, insinuating a trade-off between

the quality of patient care and cost/resource reduction. However, this perception is misguided; an emphasis on efficiency entails an organized approach that
minimizes waste and cultivates an environment dedicated to achieving optimal outcomes across all facets.
