mircronodular cirrhosis - Cindy
Posted: Jan 02, 2011
Help! What is "inspected" when micronodular cirrhosis of the liver is noted? It sounds like: "Farapacodrene" was inspected and the micronodular cirrhosis of the liver was noted.
could it be "fatty change?" nm - ?

probably not... - ?
[ In Reply To ..]fatty change would be noted, not inspected, so this is probably not what he/she is saying.
No....not that. - Cindy
[ In Reply To ..]I doesn't sound like fatty change. What precedes the statement is: Upon entering the abdomen cavaity, a moderate amount of ascites was identified and evacuated. THEN the doctor states (in a foreign accent so hard to understand) what sounds like 'FARAPACODRENE' was inspected and the mircronodular cirrhosis of the liver was noted. I've checked everything and can find nothing for 'farapa-codrene'
not sure, but...sm - ?
[ In Reply To ..]If you are allowed to make any minor edits, abdominAL would be more correct in the adjectival form, and it would be cavIty. Ascites is excess fluid in the space between the tissues lining the abdomen and abdominal organs. I assume this a laparoscopic procedure?
Operative Report - Cindy
[ In Reply To ..]Pre & Post Operative diagnosis: (sounds like:) Photo hypertension with variceal bleeding
operative report - mewziklvr
[ In Reply To ..]Portal hypertension?
listen again and see if you can hear "portal" hypertension. nm - x

'Farapa-codrene' - Cindy
[ In Reply To ..]You are all so sweet to help....no, it's not portal hypertension. It definately sounds like 'Farapa-codrene'...or 'The Rapacodrene'. Gosh, it's so hard to understand.
Possibly... - x
[ In Reply To ..]I think it should be "portal hypertension" rather than photo hypertension. Could the word you are hearing be "retroperitoneum?"
"... laparoscopic photography was inspected..."? - anonMT
[ In Reply To ..]"...surface of the liver was inspected...?
"..the intraabdominal cavity was inspected..."?

Just another guess - Let us know what it is when you find out
[ In Reply To ..]Don’t know what the procedure is, but I found this operative report that seems to be along the same lines. Maybe reading this over and then comparing terminology with what the dictator is saying will help you figure out what they are saying. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Nitrous oxide is most commonly used to insufflate the peritoneal cavity. The Veress needle is removed and a disposable trochar inserted through the skin incision. A 5 mm oblique viewing video laparoscope provides excellent quality views of the abdominal cavity. Inspection of the liver should follow a routine. Firstly, the falciform ligament is inspected for portal hypertension (the presence of dilated veins), followed by the left and right lobes of liver, gallbladder and peritoneum. The inferior and posterior segments may be visualized using a probe, inserted through a separate site, to displace the liver. Liver biopsies may be taken. In patients with ascites, fluid may drain for 24-48 hours and should be collected in a colostomy bag.
Thanks for everyones help - Cindy
[ In Reply To ..]I truly appreciate the suggestions. I have decided to leave a blank line and just move on.
Most sincerely,

farapacodrene - bzb
[ In Reply To ..]I know it's too late now, but saying it fast a few times, I'm wondering if that "apacodrene" could have been upper quadrant.

This is in an Op Note for a rectum excision. "The fatty tissue was dissected off the sigmoid circumferentially so that there would be s/l cirrhosis, as well as approximation without a layer of fat between the s/l cirrhosis." Both words clearly sound like cirrhosis but I cannot find a reference to anything that makes sense since this has nothing to do with the liver. Help if you can please. ...
