A computer program specifically designed for surgical data retrieval was tested for longer than one year. By using the information contained in operation reports, with this program statistical analysis may be achieved. The reports are generated and printed using a personal computer running MS-DOS. Entering data does not cause any additional effort for the secretary. The selection of requested data is possible with any combination of criteria, and the resultant information is displayed on the computer terminal screen or printed on the computer printer. A combination of terms is used instead of a numeric code for data entry allowing far greater selectivity, with a reduced risk of data loss due to wrong numeric code entry.
