[Completeness and reproducibility of surgical reports: A  retrospective analysis of documentation quality using the example of Dupuytren's disease].

Conclusion Surgical reports are sometimes incomplete and imprecise, independently of whether they were created by residents or consultants. Although they are intended as documentation for doctors and not for forensic reasons, it should be in the surgeon's interest to create complete and exact reports. As surgical reports are part of the patient's chart, surgical associations should develop guidlines with information that should manditorily included in surgical reports.
