Abstract
Cancellation of operations increases
theatre costs and decreases
efficiency as well as causing emotional
trauma to the patients and there families.
Elective surgery cancellation is a
significant multifactor problem with
far-reaching consequences1. Obviously,
all cancellations can not be avoided.
Patients may have a change in their
medical condition on the day of surgery
which can not be expected or there is
unpredictable condition in the hospital.
Most problems, however, can be
prevented with a little initiative as we
noticed that in private hospitals all these
reasons may be of negligible
significance.
