The bold italic part is where I can not understand the dictation. Any idea what this might be? ...

I am doing an OP report that is not a strict verbatim and is able to be corrected to best English. The dictator says: Tibial guide retrocut was placed, drilled, and then reamed "retro-ly". He stumbled around a bit before settling on "retro-ly" because he, too, knew that couldn't be correct, but he, like me, has blanked on what the heck it should be. Plantar is plantarly, lateral is laterally....what does retro become? Does it just get stretched out to retrograd ...

There were two small areas of recurrence, each less than 1 cm, one in the right bladder wall, s/l "cranial/clanial" to the right orifice. He is stuttering/changing his mind, which makes it even worse. My first thought was clinging, but I hear "ial or eal" at the end. Thanks! ...

I have a doc who sounds like he is saying "YEOMAN'S 7th cranial nerve palsy." He has used it before. I cannot figure it out or find it (all I come up with is Bell's, and that is not what he is saying) and it has never been corrected on feedback, so apparently the editors don't know it, either.

SR is supposedly different in that it goes by speech alone, meaning I guess, just the actual words dictated and is not affected by voice differences. Does ...
