upper endoscopy - surgical lumen? - cp
Posted: Mar 16, 2011
We also proceeded with an upper endoscopy as well. Upper endoscopy showed that her gastric remnant only had mild nonspecific erythema. I explored the surgical (lumen) and found that this was completely normal.
FYI- The pt also has a history of gastric resection and a known surgical anastomosis, but the word in question is not anastomosis.
It s/l lumen or limb or lamen.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
that is correct. - nm

Why not wait until your ducks are in a row before implementing a new system.
