Type of appendectomy? - bandog


Posted: Jun 06, 2014

The dictator is stating "she underwent a(n) ___ appendectomy" ... I'm almost completely certain that he is not saying "laparascopic", and it sounds like he is saying "abdominal" ... but abdominal doesn't quite makes sense :(

Is there another descriptive word that might come before appendectomy that is an adjective?

Appendectomy...sm - PT

Maybe the doc is simply saying open appendectomy. Maybe just running the words together and it sounds like abdominal? Just a thought..

it could be "incidental" or "interval" appendectomy. nm. - FlaMT
