Immediate post-operative rating of surgical performance can be a valuable source of learning when trying to analyze the reasons for the difference between "work as planned" and "work as done".
There are many reasons for the difference, but they can only be found if complete documentation of the surgical steps allows retrospective scrutiny. Documentation like ICUC provides this opportunity for scrutiny and may allow better understanding of some unexpected post-operative evolutions.
