Abstract Introduction Operative cancellation rates can be up to 17.6%, resulting in delays to patient treatment and management. This audit was conducted to assess underlying reasons for operative cancellations with the aim to minimise cancellations in the future. Method A retrospective review of General surgery operative cancellations during 2019 at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary was undertaken. Data was obtained from Theatre Management. Results 28548 operations were performed across all surgical specialities during 2019 with 2664 operations cancelled. Within General Surgery, 447 were cancelled (182 emergency (40.7%), 265 electives (59.3%)). The most common reason was lack of theatre time for elective cases and procedure no longer needed for emergency cases. For cancelled elective surgeries, there was a median time of 29 days before being operated. Conclusions We highlight that both elective and emergency operations are susceptible to cancellation. There are clear differences in the reason of cancellation between elective and emergency. Going forward, it is worth discussing booking emergency operations with the on-call consultant to ensure they are necessary. Regarding elective operation cancellations due to lack of theatre time it would be imperative to assess the exact cause of this as to minimise operative cancellations. We plan re-audit once a departmental discussion has been made.

AbstractThe authors present a technique using electrocautery diathermy to make surgical tattoos. This method has been used in over 300 patients who underwent head and neck surgery at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Albany Medical College, New York, over a period of five years. A wide variety of operative procedures such as total laryngectomies and neck dissections were performed. The electrocautery surgical tattoos have a major advantage of persisting until the end of the operative procedure by which time other types of tattoos have faded. The technique is widely available, inexpensive, and has to date been complication free.
