operation

Incisional therapeutic fit

Record evidence for intervention on a living body, incisional access and a repair or disease-control purpose; retain ambiguity explicitly.

1. What documented incision and intended repair or disease-control action make this an operation under vr.tr.operation-3? definition
2. Does the case involve a diagnostic, cosmetic or non-incisional purpose that makes its inclusion uncertain? boundary

One operation or related operations

Record the chosen event boundary and links to component procedures, stages and returns to the operating room.

1. Which procedures belong to this operation, and what convention establishes that grouping? boundary
2. Is this a first intervention, a planned stage, a revision or an unplanned return linked to an earlier operation? provenance

Documented reason to operate

Link the operation to its recorded indication, uncertainty and timing rationale without generating a treatment recommendation.

1. Which damage or disease is this operation intended to address, and which clinical assessment supports that indication? provenance
2. What urgency and consequences of delay has the responsible clinician documented? action

Target and intended change

Record the anatomical target, laterality where relevant, intended tissue action and operation-specific success criteria.

1. Which structure, site and side are targeted, and how are multiple targets distinguished? definition
2. What observable result would demonstrate the intended repair or disease-control objective, and when can it be assessed? measurement

Authority and scope record

Capture the recorded authorisation basis, its limitations and the clinician responsible for resolving discrepancies.

1. What consent or other stated authority covers this operation, and where are its scope and limitations recorded? provenance
2. Who must resolve a mismatch between the planned operation and the documented authorised scope? action

Readiness evidence and unresolved conditions

Record applicable preparation checks, required resources and unresolved concerns without treating checklist presence as clinical clearance.

1. Which patient, procedure and site confirmations and operation-specific resources does the treating service require, and what evidence records their status? provenance
2. Which unresolved conditions require a documented clinician decision before proceeding? action

Actual course and deviations

Record the actual approach, significant operative observations, changes in scope and the documented reasons for those changes.

1. What access and operative actions were actually performed, and which operative record establishes them? provenance
2. Was the approach or scope changed, extended or stopped, and what reason and decision maker were recorded? action

Operative material accountability

Record what was removed, repaired, implanted or intentionally left in place, with links to specimen and device records where applicable.

1. What tissue was removed or altered, and which specimen records preserve the source site and identification? provenance
2. Which implants, drains, packing or other materials remain, and what follow-up responsibility is documented for each? action

Completion versus objective attainment

Record whether the intended intervention was completed and distinguish immediate observations from outcomes awaiting later assessment.

1. Was the operation completed, partially performed or stopped, and which intended components remain undone? measurement
2. Which evidence supports objective attainment, and which results remain pending or uncertain? measurement

Operative consequences and handover

Record reported adverse events, relevant operative consequences, pending results and clinician-issued follow-up instructions.

1. What adverse events or unexpected observations were documented, and is any claimed relationship to the operation established or still under review? provenance
2. What operation-specific instructions, pending results and escalation responsibilities were handed to which receiving team? action
