She is definitely saying colectomy. Any idea what the abbreviation is for?
colectomy takedown? please help!
Subject: colectomy takedown? please help!

Okay, this patient has a hx of a "sigmoid colectomy with colostomy" and is now scheduled to have a "colectomy takedown." Wouldn't that have to be a colostomy takedown? Is she using the wrong term? Or is a colectomy takedown a valid term?  


TIA!

colectomy of the 2nd MTP joint?
Subject: colectomy of the 2nd MTP joint?

I had a blank on a podiatry exam that my QA filled in like this...


"would recommended a modified Weil osteotomy to decompress the joint along with opening up and cleaning up any osteophytes and possibly a colectomy of the second metatarsophalangeal joint."


I had a blank where the word colectomy is.  I've never heard of a colectomy of the MTP joint.  I did a search but didn't find anything.  I'd like to document it if it exists.
