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!

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.

TM stands for appx 20 or more things, so you cannot guess which one. Also,the same goes for LAM. It stands for seven different things and you cannot guess which one.
I was taught in this situation to leave it as said. My account even specifies in assessment and plan to never abbreviate except in this case when you cannot 100% verify what the doc means if there is more than one meaning to the abbreviation.
Hope this helps
