Both Stedman's and Dorlands defines vasectomy as surgical removal of the vas deferens
Subject: Both Stedman's and Dorlands defines vasectomy as surgical removal of the vas deferens

or a portion of it specifically to induce sterility.  It absolutely is not correct to leave vasectomy in a female patient's report.  It is wrong!  Nowhere in any of my reference books can I find vasectomy referring to anything other than the vas deferens for male sterility, NOWHERE.  I don't care how you break up the word, you can not change its meaning as a whole.


The QA person who filled it in is a boob who is simply filling in blanks for the sake of sending a report with no blanks.  The report simply should have been sent with the blank and a note drawing the physician's attention to the discrepancy.

Subject: ENT polyp removal surgery from vocal fold. sm for sentence pls. s/l formal surgical fashion.

Using formal surgical technique, complete excision of this lesion was performed while taking care to protect as much normal epithelium and underlying superficial lamina propria as possible


The FORMAL could also sound a little bit like funnel or fur-nel??  I don't think formal is right, but not sure what I am hearing.

Surgical question.
Subject: Surgical question.

Okay here are the procedures...


1.  Repair of FDP tendon.


2.  Repair of one fascicle laceration of the ulnar digital nerve.


3.  Repair of pulley tendon.


4.  Radial digital neurolysis (indicated given the ulnar digital nerve partial laceration.)


5.  Repair of A4 pulley.


I am then hearing in the narrative summary:


The tendon was repaired with a modified Kessler suture.  This was somewhat compromised by the skiving cut angled distally with minimal tendon at the insertion for the repair.  However, adequate tissue was apparently purchased.


Purchased is the word I am questioning??

Patient is being seen for balance problems. There is a lot of focus in the report on various tests and her previous tethered cord, lumbar stenosis, laminectomy, etc.

Past surgical history includes: "repair of a spinal fluid leak and (s/l all-tee) then the lumbar spine fusion."
