Surgical anatomy word - help!


Posted: Apr 29, 2010

Bowel resection,  doc states " A 3-0 silk S/L "pop" was then used to create stay sutures at the S/L "tinu or tinea" border of the transverse colon as well as the antimesenteric border."

Thanks in advance, I'm sure this is a simple word but I just can't think about what it is

There are silk pop-off sutures. Other word might be taenia (coli) - Olive

Do You Need Anatomy?
Nov 17, 2010

For MT, "recognition" knowledge of med terms and anatomy is required.  It isn't usually necessary to DO anything with that knowledge.  In other words, the MT doesn't have to make decisions based on the knowledge.   Coding requires that you use the knowledge.  Here are some situations that come up for coders in general.  Can you answer these without looking anything up? A particular colonoscopy code can only be used if the scope reaches a p ...
