Subject: s/l coomie device, cumie device, not sure

The abdomen was shaved, prepped and draped sterilely. Foley catheter was inserted, along with a s/l coomie device that was removed after her procedure. The bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed after I established the pneumoperitoneum and placed trocars for her and evaluated the sigmoid pathology assuring that the salpingo-oophorectomies could be performed satisfactorily without compromising the colon procedure.

Disc or disk
Subject: Disc or disk

What is correct?   C-spine herniated disc or disk?  Degenerative disc or disk disease, etc.  I have seen this both ways.  Confused.


Thanks


 


disk disease?

I'm hearing disk disease but I'm more familiar with degenerative disk disease or lumbar disk disease. Is just the term disk disease fairly common? Thanks.

Disk or Disc

I am typing a report of an L4-L5 disk herniation, but I see on google it is spelled with a C at the end instead of a K, so just wondering now if spelling it disk is correct or not?


Thanks!


disc/disk
Subject: disc/disk

OK, so I am officially an oldtimer! Actually I asked my TL if I could use "disc" for back stuff because I just like how it looks so much better than "disk". He said I could, however in the EYE, it is "disk". So another difference of opinion here.

Subject: disc vs disk

My understanding is BOS says "disc" pertaining to the eye and "disk" for all other anatomical terms not related to the eye.

disc vs disk - poll please
Subject: disc vs disk - poll please

I thought the preferred word to use for both oph and ortho was disc.  Either are okay to use, but keep it consistent in your transcription, disk for spine, disc for eyes.  I guess it just depends who you work for.  What do you all use?

when referring to the spine is it disk or disc? Also is it 3 mm or 3mm
Subject: when referring to the spine is it disk or disc? Also is it 3 mm or 3mm

I noticed QA is changing my work and what something I see doesnt look right to me.  I type 3 mm and they change it to 3mm.  Also I received a half typed report and they were using disc for disk.  Maybe I need to start studying a little more.
