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.

aortic root is correct, plus SM
Subject: aortic root is correct, plus SM

probably "Mitral valve - grossly normal valve leaflet morphology and motion."

"Left ventricle - normal systolic and diastolic dimensions, grossly normal segmental wall motion and systolic function overall."

"Aortic valve - mildly sclerotic valve leaflets with no frank stenosis or regurgitation."

Where it says "Atrium normal.", listen for "Right atrium - normal."

Also maybe: "No significant effusion. Intracardiac masses or thrombi - none observed."

And a couple of other places where similar dashes would be appropriate.
