“…Smyth and Bainbridge (1957) suggest a scheme of tabulating data and thereby ascertaining whether any two factors concerning a group of patients are related. This they do by calculating the statistical significance of the difference between the percentage incidence (Pa) of one of the factors (a) and of the percentage incidence of both factors combined (Pab/b).…”

“…The purpose of the first stage was to provide a preliminary description of the main findings of the included studies, and this was achieved using tabulation for easy referencing of the extracted data. 30,31 Exploring relationships in the data Thematic summary-a deductive method of categorizing studies into relevant themes without the use of any specific methods of synthesis-was used to generate themes in this stage. [32][33][34] After reviewing the tabulated data thoroughly to construct themes, the full-text articles were re-read line-by-line to identify any themes that were not initially detected.…”

Surgical errors contribute a significant burden to health systems worldwide. 1 A large proportion of this burden is a result of patient-related complexities, which include "difficult or unusual anatomy" otherwise referred to as anatomical variations. 2 Anatomical variations are deviations from the typical arrangement of anatomical structures. 3 These variations are present within populations, and no two individuals have exactly the same anatomy. 4 Although the cause is still unclear, it is thought that humans are susceptible to a higher degree of anatomical variability more than most species. 5,6 Anatomical variation is likely the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors interfering with the embryological development of anatomical structures. 6,7 However, such disruption is also the cause of pathological congenital abnormalities like structural cardiac defects and organ atresia. It is, therefore, important to distinguish an anatomical variation from other pathologic aberrations, as the former does not result in a demonstrable impairment in normal functioning. 7
