discectomy or diskectomy
Subject: discectomy or diskectomy
I am typing a report and spelled it discectomy; however I looked at a sample for this account and it is spelled diskectomy. I thought it was discectomy. I looked in Stedman's and diskectomy is not listed. I also checked stedman's online and it does not find it.
discectomy or diskectomy?
Subject: discectomy or diskectomy?
I have always been told it was discectomy with a c and not a k, disc and not disk, etc. Got a note from QA saying it was disk with a k and not a c. Have I been doing this wrong for over 10 years??!!
Thanks for any info!

Usually the "f" would stand for "fusion," and maybe the "p" stands for "plating." This is why abbreviations can be a problem.

Subject: Ŗ-0" is a very common suture size ... /sm
Vicryl sutures are used for a lot of surgeries, and size is measured by "0" -- I used to have a surgeon always said "double-ott" sutures -- meaning "OO" or "2-0"
If they are using more than one strand of suture material, I have heard surgeons say "double stranded" before, but not "dual stranded.
Have a good day.
