A simple code for efficient indicative number recording with e-logbook

Summary Although e-logbook was a welcome addition to surgical training many years ago its interface and functionality has not changed for many years. Multiple edits may be required if, for example, procedures have been miscoded or wrongly imported from the ISCP logbook. Accurate coding of operations on the e-logbook is important to correctly demonstrate meeting the required indicative numbers. A workout for facilitating the process of multiple procedures editing or adding complications is suggested. It is hoped that sharing this simple to apply computer code will help trainees to more efficiently utilise the e-logbook recording system to ensure accurate reflection of indicative procedural numbers.
