Cases from August 19, 2020, to August 20, 2022, were included, with checklist introduction occurring on August 20, 2021. Adult patients undergoing excisional debridement procedures were analyzed. The primary outcome was operative duration. Mixed-effects models were used to assess the association between checklist use and operative duration while adjusting for surgeon, procedure type, and square area excised.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 139 patients undergoing 281 operations were included (143 pre-checklist, 138 post-checklist). Mean operative duration decreased from 107.8\u00a0minutes pre-checklist to 96.0\u00a0minutes post-checklist. In adjusted analysis, checklist use was associated with a 17.99-minute reduction in operative duration (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). Procedures involving autograft, ReCell, and biodegradable temporizing matrix were associated with increased operative time, as was greater square area excised. In interaction models, the overall reduction was not statistically significant; however, ReCell procedures demonstrated a significant reduction of 30.49\u00a0minutes (P\u2009=\u2009.003) following checklist introduction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Introduction of a preoperative communication checklist was associated with decreased operative duration. The greatest effect was observed in ReCell procedures, suggesting that improved preoperative coordination may enhance efficiency in complex workflows.
