Veterinary Surgical Report Template
Free PDF.

The operative record for the chart: who did what, what was found, how it was closed, and what happens next. It is laid out in the order a surgery is actually written up, with real room for findings and technique, so the report gets finished before the next case starts.

Full size

Using it well

Small habits that make it worth the paper.

Write it before you scrub out

Details like suture size and the exact location of a mass are easiest to record while you still remember them.

Record each closure layer

If a patient comes back with a dehiscence or a reaction, the next clinician needs to know exactly what was used and where.

Note where specimens went

Write the lab and the date sent. A missing histopathology result is much easier to chase with that line filled in.

Questions about
this form.

Printing, editing, and what the form does and doesn’t cover.

What should a veterinary surgical report include?+

Typically the patient and date, the procedure, the surgical team, the pre-op and post-op diagnosis, the approach, intraoperative findings, the technique, closure materials, complications, specimens submitted, and post-operative orders. Your state may set specific record requirements.

Does this replace the anesthesia record?+

No. The anesthesia record documents drugs and monitoring during the procedure. The surgical report documents the operation itself. Most practices keep both for every surgical case.

Can I type the report online?+

Yes. Fill in the online version on this page, then print it or save it as a PDF. Nothing you type is stored by VetStack.

Does it work for dental surgery?+

It works for any procedure, but dental cases are better documented on the dental chart, which records findings and treatment tooth by tooth.
