they dictated AV fistula? If so give 'em AV fistula
Subject: they dictated AV fistula? If so give 'em AV fistula

as far as post-end versus postend.....hyphens are used for clarity and in this case I would have used the hyphen.....because it is usually end-stage renal disease....I'd give 'em post-end


If your account is verbatim and they said AV fistula give them what they said.  If you are allowed to expand, you could give them arteriovenous fistula.....


HTH (hope that helps)..........

fissure or fistula
Subject: fissure or fistula

I'm a little confused, the doctor dictates "He is at a point where he is disabled by the anal fissure pain, and I have recommended surgery in terms of an anal fissurectomy and lateral internal sphincterotomy.


There is no such thing as an anal fissurectomy but I swear that is what he is saying, and I would think it would be a fistulectomy but through the whole dictation it sounds like he is saying fissure.  I am a little confused with this.  Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
