Fellow and attending surgeon operative notes are deficient in reporting established quality indicators for Roux-en-y gastric bypass: a preliminary retrospective analysis of operative dictation.
This retrospective analysis investigated the completeness of reporting documentation for Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery. A total of 40 bariatric fellow and 40 attending RYGB narrative reports were analyzed. Fellows had a mean completion rate of 66.4% compared to 61.5% for attendings. Fellows also did a better job of completing subsections, with the exception of closure details. This information is important to communicating operative events and can make an impact on patient safety and quality.
