discectomy or diskectomy
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.
discectomy or diskectomy?
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??!!
Thanks for any info!

Usually the "f" would stand for "fusion," and maybe the "p" stands for "plating." This is why abbreviations can be a problem.

Disc or disk
Subject: Disc or disk
What is correct? C-spine herniated disc or disk? Degenerative disc or disk disease, etc. I have seen this both ways. Confused.
Thanks
disk disease?
I'm hearing disk disease but I'm more familiar with degenerative disk disease or lumbar disk disease. Is just the term disk disease fairly common? Thanks.

Disk or Disc

I am typing a report of an L4-L5 disk herniation, but I see on google it is spelled with a C at the end instead of a K, so just wondering now if spelling it disk is correct or not?
Thanks!
disc/disk
Subject: disc/disk
OK, so I am officially an oldtimer! Actually I asked my TL if I could use "disc" for back stuff because I just like how it looks so much better than "disk". He said I could, however in the EYE, it is "disk". So another difference of opinion here.

Subject: disc vs disk
My understanding is BOS says "disc" pertaining to the eye and "disk" for all other anatomical terms not related to the eye.

I thought the preferred word to use for both oph and ortho was disc. Either are okay to use, but keep it consistent in your transcription, disk for spine, disc for eyes. I guess it just depends who you work for. What do you all use?
