4.	To edit an existing surgery, select the Edit icon. Enter any modifications and select Save.

5.	To remove an existing surgery, select the remove icon. The following prompt will display: “If you click yes ‘SELECTED SURGERY’ will be removed. Continue?” Selecting Yes will remove the surgery and selecting No will cancel any changes.

6.	If the plus sign icon was selected from within the filter on the note field to edit the surgical history, select refresh filter to display the updated information within the note.
