'i've slipped up' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'no surgical procedures?' is the wordplay.
'no' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'surgical procedures?' becomes 'ops' (op is short for operation).
'o'+'ops'='OOPS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oops that I've seen before include "Apologetic exclamation" , "Exclamation on making minor error" , "Harem" , "Exclamation recognising a mistake has been made" , "Exclamation after mistake or minor accident" .)
