ENT surgeon says "Binner bipolar electrocautery" he even spells it but I can't seem to find a direct reference to it anywhere. Anyone heard of it?

Subject: Binner bipolar cautery

My neighbor had the surgery for BPD, but I don't know the details.  She knew I was very interested in the details.  Since then she's become more secluded.  I don't know the exact reason, but it's unfortunate.  Hopefully someone else can weigh in on this as well. 


In the meantime, I'll keep looking.

"Then the conjunctiva was tacked over the wound by light cautery at the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock meridians."

Where I have "light cautery" it sounded like he stumbled and it came out "glicautery."

So does light cautery sound right?

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.

I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN.  Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading.  Hope that helps!
