Operative Report and the Quality Forms

Abstract

Background: By filling the operation report and quality forms, the procurement surgeon fulfils the national or international rules for organ procurement. All findings and decisions that were taken during organ procurement have to be documented. Information must be clear to everybody who was involved in organ procurement and transplantation.

Conclusions: Quality monitoring of procured organs plays an important role in every national transplant program. No technical mistake is the benchmark of a well-trained procurement team with small waiting lists and many successful transplants.
