Subject: discectomy or diskectomy

I am typing a report and spelled it discectomy; however I looked at a sample for this account and it is spelled diskectomy.  I thought it was discectomy.  I looked in Stedman's and diskectomy is not listed.  I also checked stedman's online and it does not find it.

Subject: discectomy or diskectomy?

I have always been told it was discectomy with a c and not a k, disc and not disk, etc.  Got a note from QA saying it was disk with a k and not a c.  Have I been doing this wrong for over 10 years??!!

The doc is stating "he has mild anterior chain adenopathy" ( it sounds like that!) but she does not give any headings for her PE --just rattles off comments for each one, so I am wondering where this goes. Any suggestions? What I have found so far may indicate NECK, but am not sure.


Thanks!
