Subject: it is roll ball cautery or roller ball or
rollerball. Googled roll ball and roller-ball comes up. My Surgical Word Book has rollerball endometrial ablation but the doc is clearly saying ROLL BALL. She is saying is very slowly and precise. This drives me nuts.

Yes, the Jurgan pin ball is what I needed. It's to cap a Kirschner wire. I found it before but apparently I wasn't googling the right combination of words this time. Thanks for your help!

I think this must be it. The patient is a 72 yo in the ER with diarrhea so I have no clues as to her past medical history. Ugggh, hate it when docs spell also.

PENT ICCP

I can only come up with some wild guesses at the moment, such as:
get formolent = ___ for a minute
OR
get formolent = get 4 ____
as in "the wound bed was allowed to ___ for a minute to control some bleeding" or "the wound bed was allowed to get 4 ____ to control some bleeding"
I wish I could be more help...

Could he/she be saying: Appendectomy, "apparently" 3 D&Cs, tonsillectomy. It doesn't really make sense with the parentheses, makes it sound like the patient had 3 D&Cs at the time of the appendectomy.

Subject: hmmm...
The only thing that comes to mind is that he is possibly saying "OC", meaning oral contraceptive. I'd have to blank him if that's not what he says.

Actually after listening to that one at least 50 times, I could get nothing else from it. A Cobb can be a retractor or elevator. In this case, it was used to scrape vertebrae...I did find micro-Cobb. But it really didn't sound a bit like that. Macoa or Mikoa perhaps, but I tried every spelling I could think of. Oh well...it's a mystery, and the report went to proofing, but it left me curious. Thanks!
