Abstract

The effect of scheduling on the use of operating theatre time has been studied. Scheduling involved determining the average length of common operations and fitting them into the calculated available operating time. The technique has been shown to reduce significantly the variation in length of operating sessions, and it ensures the best use of available operating time.
