For preop all I have is

the following:


In the preoperative area the patient recieved IV sedation followed by a peribulbar injection of Xylocaine, Marcaine, and hyaluronidase.  A Honan balloon was placed on the eye.


scleral seroma sounds plausible ... but honestly, it sounds more like thera-scroma, or their scroma?

Preop lumbar spondylosis...help!
Subject: Preop lumbar spondylosis...help!

Hi guys. I have a couple of questions on this report.

Under description of procedure: After sterile prepped and draped, local anesthetic wheals were raised. There were cephalocaudad and oblique projections of the intersections of the superior articular process of L5 and the sacral ala....

First of all, I'm sure he says "after sterile prepped and draped.... Even though this doesn't make much sense, is that correct?
========================================================
My second question is...local anesthetic wheals were raised. There were cephalocaudad and oblique projections.....

it sounds like he says over cephalocaudad and oblique projections....but that doesn't make much sense. Which way is correct? Is it with the period after wheals were raised?
==========================================================
Lastly, 22-gauge bend tip spinal needles were directed to these intersections.... Is bend tip spinal needles correct?

Thanks for any suggestions. I have been reading posts on here for awhile now but have never posted anything. You guys are the greatest and I hope that one day I can be the successful MT some of you are! Thanks for your help.
