GIA stapler
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!

Subject: Roux-Y sm
In Stedman's GI book they have both listed together, with Roux-en-Y listed first; so they are both acceptable but the first is usally preferred. I guess it would depend if you are on a verbatim account.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

Would you use a roman numeral for Type I Aortic aneurysm or use Type one or type 1 ... I am thinking it is Type I but I am unsure. I am new to this all. Thanks for any help.
I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!

Yes, it used to be Type II, but clarity is more important, so it was changed. Either would be acceptable in transcription, however.
