Abstract | Public concern has recently focused on the problem of cancelled operations. In order to investigate the extent of oral and maxillofacial surgery cancellations, the University of Manchester initiated a 12-month prospective audit of lost operating time. During 1990, 31% of planned operations were cancelled, while nearly 20% of operating lists were lost completely. With the exception of public holidays and theatre maintenance days, the commonest reasons for cancellation included financial cut-backs, nursing staff shortages and failure of patients to attend. © 1991 Nature Publishing Group.
