Help with groin node dissection terms
Subject: Help with groin node dissection terms

I have never done an op note and have certainly never done a groin node dissection!  There are no sample reports available.  I have done this doctor before in his clinical setting and he is one of my favorites, but no op notes - the problem is a very poor quality recording - and in an area that I do not have experience!!  HELP!!  Each line is a separate issue.  Some I just need some verifcation that I did it right.

We used hemoclips and silk ___ for hemostasis and controlled lymphatic vessels.


We dissected along the superficial femoral artery and femoral nerve to __revolve?__ the lymph node bearing tissue from this area.   


We irrigated __and assured?__ hemostasis


We identified the ureter which was reflected medially.


assured hemostasis placing __ FloSeal __ along the obturator foramen area and there was no sign of bleeding


We closed the fascia with a running loop #1 _PDS__ suture.

Cranial nerves
Subject: Cranial nerves

I know that cranial nerves are counted in Roman numerals, II-XII.  When the doctor dictates the number first, though, how do we type it?  7th nerve?  Seventh nerve?  Is there a standard.  I don't have access to the handbook.  Thanks!
