Subject: GIA stapler

The doc is dictating a bowel resection, is using a GIA and then a TA stapler.  Would he be saying a GIA 80, 3.5 stapler, or a GIA 83.5 stapler?  I have been typing is as GIA 80, 3.5 stapler right up until today, when it struck me that I may be wrong.  Help, Anyone?  Thanks!

I apologize for stepping on your toes.  I only posted those reports to get a little help.  I did not post any names of people, places, or anything confidential.


However, I do appreciate your concern.  It sounds to me that probably you are trying to start some type of drama as you are accustomed to doing all over these boards.  However, I am not going to enable that.


Have a nice day.

a stapler used in a laparoscopic gastric bypass
Subject: a stapler used in a laparoscopic gastric bypass

I'm doing an op note dictated by an ESL and he's referring to a stapler that he's using to create the anastomosis in a laparoscopic gastric bypass.  It sounds something like Acolumn, Ecolint or Acumint stapler.  I'm so stumped and would welcome any hints on how to figure out what the heck he's saying!
