lacrimal dilators for perineal lesion excision? - dn
Posted: Feb 09, 2013
I am doing a report for a doctor and surgery that I don't normally do. The surgery is for excision of a perineal lesion and fistulous tract. She says she uses lacrimal dilators. It s/l lacrimal anyway but I can't seem to confirm that this is correct.
Using lacrimal dilators the wound tract was explored and found to approximately 4 cm in its greatest length but non-communicating with perianal glands or rectum. There was a blind ended sac. With the lacrimal dilator in place and using an 11 blade the tract was excised with a skin incision in an elliptical fashion.
Can anyone tell me if lacrimal is correct? I tried spelling it a few different ways, but I still can't confirm it.
Thanks.
lacrimal is correct - research
[ In Reply To ..]lacrimal dilators and probes are often used to explore very small openings and tracts. Think about how small a lacrimal probe would have to be to explore a stopped-up baby tear duct! I have heard them used on body parts not related to the lacrimal duct system.
Thanks!! - dn

BOS3 Question, Is It 3-cm Lesion Or 3 Cm Lesion?
Apr 30, 2010
I have the BOS2 which says the hyphenation should be "a 3-cm lesion," but "the lesion measures 3 cm." I was recently told that the BOS3 changes this and now they don't want hyphens in there at all. I don't have the money to buy the BOS3 yet, but if there is anybody who does have it, would you be able to tell me what it says about hyphenating or not hyphenating this? Have they changed this now? ...
