    AbstractInternational surgical outreach missions have become increasingly common within the surgery community. Untoward events in this setting, although rare, can be prevented by careful planning and the use of quality assurance guidelines designed to prevent such complications. The surgical safety checklist is widely accepted in most developed health care practices, but is used variably by international mission groups. This article outlines the quality assurance guidelines used, including a modified World Health Organization safety checklist and illustrated patient instruction forms, to provide a standardized means of delivering sound surgical care in the setting of short-term international cleft lip and/or palate missions.
