Admin — Surgery Types and Clinical Procedures
Surgery Types and Clinical Procedures define the catalogue of surgical and procedural items that can be recorded on a BHT through the Theatre Workbench.

Surgery types classify procedures — e.g., Major Surgery, Minor Surgery, Emergency Surgery, Endoscopy. They are used to group surgery bills in reports and to control fee structures.

Clinical Procedures (Surgeries Catalogue)

Privilege: InwardAdministration
Clinical procedures are the individual surgery and procedure items — e.g., "Appendicectomy", "Total Knee Replacement", "Colonoscopy". These are linked to item master entries and can carry fees.
A bulk upload option is available via Surgeries upload (/clinical/surgeries_upload?faces-redirect=true) for loading procedure catalogues from a file.
How Surgery Billing Works
On the Theatre Workbench, the surgeon selects a clinical procedure from the catalogue. The system creates a surgery bill (BillType.InwardSurgery) linked to the BHT. Professional fees for each participating clinician are then recorded as separate professional fee bills (BillType.InwardProfessional), each linked back to the surgery bill via bill.forwardReferenceBill.
See Inward Professional and Surgery Payments for the settlement workflow.
