Her only complaints are those related to her gynecologic operation but she thinks these are better. Her abdomen is nice and flat and smooth. She has nice midline s/l raw-fay. There was some ends of sutures snipped off but otherwise she is doing very well.
Besides the identifying info, this is all that is in the report so it does not give much to go on.
THX!

Just throwing this out there, but I was corrected many times that a french is a unit of measure, not French as in from France. Would not be capitalized. 3 french = 1 mm.
french
Subject: french
I have seen both ways. However, it is french, not French (as in from France). A french is a unit of measure and not capilalized, just as you would not capitalize inch, foot, etc.

In French, the term *cul-de-sac* means bottom of the bag (no, it doesn't mean *dead-end street*), bottom of the sack, to us, in English.
So, I'm thinking perhaps a person of French descent might have instructed you on that and in France/French-speaking countries, it would be correct, sac = sack; however, not here if used as a container to place something in that is not body-part related.

Subject: 6 French "raabe" sheath
The doctor spells this out more than once during the report but I've never heard this term before, my medical spellchecker doesn't recognize it, and I can't verify it on Google. Any help would be great!
Following the percutaneous intervention and completion arteriogram of the right external iliac artery, the wires catheters were withdrawn. Please note also just prior to the percutaneous intervention, a full dose of systemic intravenous heparin was given and an ACT was maintained above 200. In addition the short 5 French sheath was changed out over a Magic Torque wire to a long 6 French "raabe" sheath. Following the intervention, the long sheath was then exchanged over the same wire to a short 6 French sheath.
