Abstract
The principles used in the development of logic-based flow charts for use by computer have been applied to the decision-making processes encountered in surgical disorders. Such charts do not attempt to alter one's decisions, but rather present a more logical approach to a given problem, based on past experience. It has been shown that the use of flow charts may be of material benefit to the patient, as well as having other advantages.
