Shelly, The pathology report will be helpful so please fax it to the office (919-967-8637). The operative note is the doctors summary of the tubal ligation operation. It usually tells us what type of ligation was done and a few specifics on how he performed it. The pathology report describes what was found in the tissue (tubal segment) which was removed from the patient’s body and how much. Martha

That is exactly what I want to know! Whats the difference between the two? I think it might be better to have the operative report, but I am not sure.

If allowed, may I ask what is the difference between the two? Is one more detailed than the other? Is one better to have over the other? I am the opposite of you, I have the operative but not the pathology.

I sent my operative report because I couldn't get a hold of my pathology report and it was fine. They like both because they can get more information that way. Not sure about the pathology report and not the operative report though. Give CHTRC a call. they are all very nice and very helpful

If the pathology report from My TL will be enough information to send in to CHTRC? I requested the operative report and the pathology report, but I got a call from the medical records department today and the lady told me that for some reason the Doctor who did my TL did not dictate it! So she could not obtain the operative report. Any input would be appreciated
