The 6-4-3-5 method of risk analysis from Aeronautics is adapted and extended to Medicine with emphasis on Endoscopic Surgery. The new main risk factors are identified and the corresponding risk severity is evaluated. In the complete method “6”represents the number of persons in the evaluating team,“4” gives the used weights 1; 2; 3; 4; “3” is the number of variants required to each person from the evaluating team and “5” indicates the time for evaluation (five minutes). The risk is defined as a product between the probability of an event and the event severity, S, taking one of the values 1; 2; 3; 4. The value S = 1 represents the normal case and S = 4 corresponds to the maximum damage, for example, dead people resulting in one aviation accident. Three more simple variants are also given.
