Subject: British/European pronunciation
Does the dictator have a British or foreign accent? Many British doctors pronounce "cephalad" as "Kephalad". For some reason that's how they learn to pronounce it. Could be the dictator is using a hard "K" sound for the soft "C" sound.

European incision
Subject: European incision
I'm doing a report dictated by a urologist, and he's doing a cystocele repair and urethrocele repair with Prolift and secure (or this could be Secur, as in the TVT Secur by Gynecare, but I don't know that for sure) synthetic graft. Anyway, he says a deep s/l European incision was then made over the vagina over the bladder area.
I've never heard of a European incision and can't document it in my search efforts thus far. I've checked my books and online references and am still looking......

Subject: Need help with ortho - Doc has a slight British accent.
The patient returns today three years after her anteroposterior reconstruction for flat back deformity. No pain. She is here, however, because she has some prominence in her back that has gotten progressively more pronounced.
On examination, there is s/l right-sided hooks. I believe this needs to be removed. I feel she is solid because she has no pain.
Thanks for any help!!
