Portal sites
Subject: Portal sites

You heard it right. In Orthopedics, you'll come across the procedure of "arthroscopy" quite a bit. The Ortho surgeon makes small incisions called "portals", through one of which he inserts the scope to look inside the joint, and through the others he inserts other instruments as needed for cutting, shaving, biopsies, etc. Once he completes the procedure, he closes those incisions which become the "portal sites" that he is talking about. He obviously is checking during the followup visit to see if there is any infection at the incision sites.

The girl that worked in my office who did transcription before I started used to type port hole instead of portal.  It looked really funny in the transcription.  For some reason, the docs never corrected her though!!!

Epley Maneuvers (EM). This procedure for canalith repositioning is a painless, low-risk treatment which usually has an immediate, positive effect. By a series of gentle changes in the position of the head, the canaliths are moved to an area in the labyrinth where the balance system won't be upset.
