perineal or peroneal - help mt

Posted: Dec 16, 2009

Sensation shows a little right lateral calf tingling (history of perinoplasty), which could be perineal or L5.

do I have this right? Perineal versus peroneal. I assume it is right because I could not find a peroneoplasty procedure anywhere.

wasn't sure perineal would have to do with calf tingling??

thanks

Agree with txczech . . . possibly checking for calf DVT after surgery. It's perineoplasty but the peroneal vein/tendon is in the leg so it has to be peroneal.

ok, thanks all - help mt

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.

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.
