Currently working on an OR for a septoplasty/turinate reduction...
The sentence is: Stay sutures were secured to one another externally below the s/l chiumella.
Driving me crazy trying to find out this word!! Any help would be appreciated! ...
.A 6-0 Prolene was used to close the columellar incision, and the lateral nasal sidewall incisions were closed using 7-0 nylon. Internal * bilial * splints were placed for stabilization and an external splint was applied. Bilateral Marcaine blocks were performed using 0.5% Marcaine.
Thank you for your help. ...
I came across patellectomy, but it clearly sounds like pi-low-lectomy.
The sentence is: "I think the best course of action would probably be to do an inferior pole *s/l pye-lo-lectomy* and just primary repair of the inferior patellar tendon portion back to the patellar bone."
Thank you very much for your help! ...
How would you punctuate "posterior inferior" here? -"There is endplate edema involving the posterior inferior endplate of L1." I want to hyphenate it. Or maybe just leave it alone. Any help would be appreciated Thanks! ...
The doctor is listing the type of procedure he is going to do on the inferior turbinates.
s/l es-i-marvin inferior turbinates.
The actual procedure does not give any indication to this word. He trimmed the turbinates. He infractured them and outfractured them. He also resected the mucosal tissues overlying the inferior turbinate bone.
Any ideas?
Thanks ...
Does the word humming seem right in the first sentence? I thought maybe there is a specific name for the type of handpiece or wand but I can't seem to find that. These are his exact words.
"Anterior stab incisions were created for submucosal resection with Coblation handpiece humming 45 degree reflex wand. Settings of 4 and 2 were used. Three separate submucous tunnels were created anterior to posteriorly with the Coblation foot pedal activated for 12 seconds."
