I then entered the space just anterior to the ampulla of the vesae.  The vesae were then elevated upwards and divided and both seminal vesicles were then disected out completely.  The right seminal vesicle was torn inadvertantly but was completely disected out.  I sent this as a seperate specimen.  The post seminal vesicles and vesae now completely disected free, I developed the plane posterior to the prostate and anterior to the rectum.

Subject: sounds more like band endoscope, there is a narrow-band illumination endoscope...sm

that is used to see the contrasts of the mouth and throat more clearly.  Especially as this procedure started with a microlaryngoscope, which is used either in patients with narrow airways or to get a more clear picture, I would be more apt to say the doc said band endoscope.

I would confirm (sm)
Subject: I would confirm (sm)

exactly what she is referring to before making the decision to transcribe bilateral.  She may mean bimalleolar (ankle) edema.  If that were the case, bilateral ankle edema is very different than bimalleolar edema, which would mean 1 foot versus 2.  If you can leave it blank and get a response back, that is the best idea.
