Subject: "chronic stasis" can stand alone (imho) sm
stasis= noun: an abnormal state in which the normal flow of a liquid (such as blood) is slowed or stopped
docs often say it...chronic stasis...also say "chronic stasis dermatitis, or changes, or ulcers" but I think "chronic stasis" alone is okay.

If the doc spelled it 3 times and it was absolutely clear, "acisional" is what he would get from me. Sounds like he knows exactly what he wants and if he bothered to spell it, he'd probably be an unhappy camper if you paraphrased for him. It's obvious he means "without an incision." I guess aincisional would look kinda dumb, probably why he spelled it. As likely as not it will be in the next medical dictionary edition as a legitimate word.

Subject: imho... Hohmann for orthopedics sm
Homan=most commonly a "sign" (calf pain with foot dorsiflexion. Hohmann=orthopedic retractor. Also Holman=lung retractor. I think Google is confusing because Homan is used incorrectly when Hohmann is correct spelling for ortho procedures; I don't think you'll find "Homan retractor" in any surgical instruments catalog, but there are LOTS of catalogs selling Hohmann retractors. My Stedman's only lists Hohmann (but I have an old 2nd ed.)...jmho

venous stasis vs venostasis.
Subject: venous stasis vs venostasis.
Both are correct. "o" is the combining form and thus acceptable as venostasis. Some dictators will use the combined form and some will use two separate words, I go with what the dictator says.
Ven = venous
stasis = cessation/impairment of flow thus ven "o" statis.
