Documents and documentation in laparoscopy.
Abstract
Some form of documentation of laparoscopic findings is essential in the proper management of the patient. We have found a simple outline form with a schematic drawing of the pelvis to be invaluable in emphasizing the need for a systematic and thorough endoscopic examination and in providing an excellent method of recall. Photographic documentation is primarily of value to those physicians involved in research or educational programs. In addition, we have found it helpful to give the patients a printed description of the procedure beforehand, as well as written instructions concerning preoperative arrangements and postoperative care.
