Lap radical prostatectomy sm

He says this:
We incised the urachus and umbilical ligaments and dropped the bladder down posteriorly. We incised the endopelvic fascia and preprostatic ligaments and placed 2 ligatures of 0 Vicryl around the s/l doors venous complex.

Venous complex is clear, but is that dorsal? First lapscc of these I have done. Stedman's GI/GU is not very good either.

Subject: status post a right modified radical mastoidectomy with an *s/l end concenter* position graft

This is an ENT doc who always pronounces things just as they are spelled regardless of the way it should be pronounced.  Anyone have any ideas on what this would be?


Thanks so much

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.
