    Abstract
    AIM: The operative note needs to be an accurate and legible account of events occurring in the surgeon's theatre. We set out to discover if operative notes within a British District General Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department adhered to Royal College of Surgeons (England) guidelines. METHOD: We audited 100 consecutive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery operations performed within general theatres. As an intervention we designed and piloted a paper based Operative Note Proforma and re-audit was undertaken. RESULTS: Initial audit showed results lacking in certainareas. At re-audit all audit criteria showed improvement. The mean percentage of data point inclusion rose from 76.1 to 98.3% (0.001 < P-value < 0.005). CONCLUSION: Previous papers have discussed various methods of improving operative note standards. We present statistical evidence for the use of an Operative Note Proforma to improve operative note standards within Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
