Are doctors required to keep detailed operative notes for each patient even if they do a large amount of the same surgery?

perrier4me
I found a discussion on this site where women who all had surgery with the same surgeon had seen each others surgical notes and found out that they were all the same - word for word. Same pre op evaluation, same surgical notes, same post op. Several of them are having post surgery complications but there is nothing in the surgical notes specific to their surgery. The doctor boasts of doing 600 surgeries per year and apparently is cutting and pasting surgical notes for all surgeries Is this normal?
