If you don't have Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words book you should get it. This book is amazing. Pretty much any piece of medical/surgical equipment is in there. It is worth its weight in gold. If your company doesn't offer discounted books, you can purchase it a Amazon.com either new or used, and they have great used book. I bought my entire collection of Stedman's words book used. All of them are in at least good condition.

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.

Your reference is British. Note the spellings of centre, etc. Check Vera Pyle's book and Dorland's Medical Dictionary and also the American Medical Association reference for making nouns out of proper names. Our own BOS states not to capitalize words derived from eponyms.
