Query v/s Addendum to OP Reports

Good morning, I have a question regarding queries v/s addendums to Operative reports. Once the OP report has been verified/signed by the Physician can a query be used to ascertain missing elements like Pathology specimen removed, site cauterized to control bleeding, vessel cut or ligated, site of endarterectomy,  or is it a CMS requirement that addendums be done to add this information to OP reports?
