Relationship between intraoperative non‐technical performance and technical events in bariatric surgery

The operating theatre is a unique environment with complex team interactions, where technical and non‐technical performance affect patient outcomes. The correlation between technical and non‐technical performance, however, remains underinvestigated. The purpose of this study was to explore these interactions in the operating theatre.
