GU surgery; villiforms? - je suis MT
Posted: Mar 15, 2010
Know villiform is a real word, just have not heard it in this context:
"There was a small false passage at the 6 o'clock position in the distal prostatic urethra; I suspect this is the area that presented difficulty with insertion of a Foley catheter and villiforms and dilators."
It almost sounds as if an "F" is the first letter.
Any thoughts/suggestions/help welcomed. Thanks.

question villiform - Sunshine
[ In Reply To ..]It is filiform.
Thanks, Sunshine! SM - je suis MT
[ In Reply To ..]When I tried with wildcard entries (i.e., *l*form) on the sites like OneLook, etc., got too many potential words. Then came up with "villiform" and thought, well, maybe...
Thanks for your help:)
Correct term - Sunshine
[ In Reply To ..]After reading your sentence again, it sounds like it would be in reference to something like "filiform bougie" as the instrument...only without bougie.
Think you're right - je suis MT
[ In Reply To ..]After you and the other poster gave me the correct word, I looked it up. I think he may actually mean "filiform bougies" but since there's ambiguity, I'll leave it (unlike "labs", "blood pressures", etc.).
Really appreciate your help. This board is such a blessing - makes me almost forget what it was like in the "olden days", before the intertubes:)

This is probably a ridiculously easy one, but I don't have any QA to tell me anything, so I don't know if I've been doing this right or not (though it feels like it's wrong). The questionable term I come across for this one account is "including risks (s/l inherent) surgery." I feel like it's missing a word there, like risks inherent IN surgery or something similar, but doctor repeatedly only says "risks inherent surgery" in that order.
