AI Medical Scribe for

Lower Gastrointestinal Surgeons

Colorectal clinics move fast — cancer referrals, diverticulitis reviews, post-op checks — and every consult ends in a note carrying operative planning and consent detail. Medical Scribe drafts it from the consultation itself.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for lower gastrointestinal surgeons — ready before your patient leaves the room.

Colorectal Consult Ready to copy

Subjective

64F referred with 3 months of altered bowel habit and intermittent rectal bleeding. Colonoscopy last week identified a sigmoid mass; no obstructive symptoms, no weight loss. Past history: hypertension on ramipril 5mg daily; no prior abdominal surgery. Ex-smoker, quit 10 years ago. No anticoagulants. NKDA.

Objective

  • Abdomen soft, non-tender, no palpable mass; no lymphadenopathy
  • Biopsy histology: moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma
  • CT chest/abdomen/pelvis: sigmoid wall thickening, no metastatic disease identified
  • CEA 4.1 ng/mL; Hb 11.9 g/dL

Assessment & Plan: Sigmoid adenocarcinoma

  • Radiologically localized disease, provisional stage T3N0M0 pending MDT review this week
  • Plan: laparoscopic high anterior resection following MDT confirmation
  • Pre-operative anesthetic assessment and stoma nurse education referral arranged
  • Group and save, iron studies given borderline Hb

Additional Notes

Risks discussed with patient and husband: anastomotic leak, bleeding, infection, possibility of temporary defunctioning stoma, conversion to open surgery. Expected recovery and enhanced recovery pathway explained. Patient understands and wishes to proceed; formal consent to be completed at pre-admission.

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

The operating list doesn't wait for clinic notes

Clinic is bookended by theatre

New referrals and post-op reviews are packed into the days between lists, and each one needs a note detailed enough to plan surgery from — usually written after hours.

Consent conversations need a faithful record

Anastomotic leak, the possibility of a stoma, conversion to open — what you actually told the patient before a colectomy is the part of the chart that gets litigated.

Every cancer referral carries staging baggage

Colonoscopy findings, biopsy histology, CT staging, CEA, and MDT outcomes all have to be woven accurately into the consult note before a plan can be made.

Subjective Objective Assessment & Plan

Plus 280+ templates across every specialty — or build your own in minutes.

From referral letter to theatre list

A colorectal practice cycles through new cancer referrals, benign disease reviews, and post-op checks — each with different documentation demands. Medical Scribe records the consultation, in clinic or by telehealth, and drafts the note that carries the case forward: history, workup, operative plan, and what the patient was told.

Structured the way a surgical consult reads

The built-in Lower Gastrointestinal Surgeon’s note template maps the conversation into Subjective (presenting complaint, surgical history, medications including anticoagulants, allergies), Objective (examination and investigation results with dates), and an issue-by-issue Assessment & Plan covering the planned procedure, pre-operative preparation, and post-operative care — plus consent and education notes.

If an anastomosis leaks or a stoma becomes permanent, the chart is read backwards to the consent conversation. Medical Scribe documents exactly what was discussed — the specific risks you named, the questions the patient asked — and never inserts findings or warnings that weren’t spoken.

Frequently asked questions

Will the note hold the consent discussion in the detail I need?

Yes. The risks, alternatives, and stoma discussion you actually voiced are documented in the note's patient education and consent section — only what was said, never a boilerplate risk list you didn't cover. You review and sign before it stands.

Can it keep scope findings, histology, and staging investigations organized?

The Lower Gastrointestinal Surgeon's note template files colonoscopy findings, biopsy results, imaging, and labs under Objective with dates as you state them, then structures each surgical issue into its own Assessment & Plan.

Does it work for post-op reviews and ward rounds, not just new referrals?

Yes. Record any spoken encounter — new consults, post-operative follow-ups, telehealth reviews — on iOS, Android, Web, Apple Watch, or Mac, and each becomes a structured draft note.
