Sometimes, even the "operative report" won't give you the details of what was seen or done. I had shoulder surgery a couple of years ago, and just as I was waking up from anesthesia, the doctor was telling me that I had an allergic reaction to morphine and to add this to my allergy list. When I got the "operation report," there was nothing mentioned at all about the allergic reaction. I still keep asking myself if it was a dream or my imagnination. This would be important information to have in writing to prove the allergy and why would they withhold this information from the operative report?
