Some people just put a category of Past Surgical History - in the Past Medical History box, eg

Past Medical Hx
NIDDM
HTN
BPH

Past Surgical History -
Appendectomy
Cholecystectomy
Tubal Ligation

This makes the history all inclusive when you print an office note so that it looks like a full H&P. Just another option.
