title: Communication and documentation before and after laparoscopic surgery.
abstract: Increasingly, sanctions by Offices of Professional Medical Conduct, functioning at state level, and malpractice suits are being used to discipline physicians. A system of documentation and communication, practiced successfully for more than 30 years, can reduce the risk of such actions. (J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc 6(4):379-381, 1999)
