He has mild­-to-­moderate spinal stenosis at the L2-­3 level, as well as ____________ with some neuroforaminal encroachment.

This sounds like opraparbobo - granted she is a mush mouth.

Thank you.

s/l anulex.  doc sentence is as follows:  we do attempt to close the annular defect (he is working at the L5-S1 level) with an anulex x-close system (stutter?? states "x" twice)  

Help!  I tried several places and spellings!!

It sounds like "gamminifradiant" surgery on a left basal ganglion surgery.

However it has been a very LONG weekend and I know this is not right but am stuck.

Patient taken to the operating room and underwent a right s/l tereonal craniotomy

I can't find "tereonal"

Patient admitted for cerebellar hemorrhage.

Under procedures:  posterior s/l "pathocraniectomy", evacuation of right cerebellar hemispheric intraparenchymal hemorrhage and s/l "drill" or "dural" augmentation - dictator is a mumble mouth

s/l TEETS?   The aneurysm was noted to be pointing anteriorly.  There were 2 extensions forming TEETS?  One of these appeared to be where the aneurysm had bled. It was densely adherent to the left A2 segment. 

Thanks

In an operative report for a cervical laminectomy and fusion, the doc says "the screw holes that had been placed were placed using the s/l Howard On technique with 30 degrees lateral and 15 degree cephalad angulation from the center-center position.

Maybe the word I'm looking for is Howard An because it sounds like he say a-n right after he says the word technique, as if he's spelling An for me.  I can't document this anywhere in my Google search efforts though.

The phrases are:

thin "pledge" of Gel foam

L5 root and "flacum"

Neurosurgery term:  Sounds like "2-0 up-curette?" 

S/l "neuro spung Gelpi" self-retaining retractors.

Help is greatly appreciated.

This sounds new - sounds like a "Bengal" cage.  It's not in my Stedman's Surgical Words, Third Edition, not in my Stedman's on line.  I tried Googling it, which usually works, could not find anything.  Does anyone know the proper spelling for this? - Thanks!

Neurosurgery

she says

cervical spinal cord edema extending up to the s/l (level of the duns.)

Anyone heard of osseous cartilagenous OSCAL benign biopsy? 

I am doing podiatric but patient has been having diarrhea and cultures have

been taken.  Under care of infectious disease doctor. Doctor says "may need to consider a napograph or an apograph"

She had a previous gallbladder, which suggested sludge or chololithiasis

I need to figure out the omited word after gallbaldder. Is there 1 specific test done to find gallstones? Ultrasound or endo. doc mentions neither.

Was it electroneurography (ENog) ?

HEENT:  Neck is ___________.  sounds like he's saying brooshy.  Please help!

I hate even asking this question because I'm sure it is something everyone has heard, but lately I have been doing so many oncology and renal reports that I am getting rusty with everything else. 

Doctor mentions a distal radius fracture with "dorsal translation across the pyses of the distal foramen."

I can't find the word pyses.  I know how I spelled it is not correct.  But can someone please help!!?

TIA.
