# Surgery Tab

The Surgery tab allows you to view signed operative reports generated in the VistA Surgery package. These reports include the Operation Report, Nurse Intraoperative Report, Anesthesia Report, and Procedure Report (Non-O.R.). You can also view the Surgery (local only) report from the Reports tab.

The Surgery tab will only be visible if your site is configured to use the tab, if you have the correct access permissions, and Surgery patch SR*3.0*100 is installed.

To view a surgery report, follow these steps:

1. Select the Surgery tab.

2. Select a report title from the All Surgery Cases pane. Click the "+" sign to expand a heading (if necessary).

3. The text of the report will be displayed in the details pane on the right side of the window.
