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

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!!

I cannot find this anywhere!  s/l Metrex (not the vitamins) for an interbody fusion procedure of the lumbar spine.  Have any of you had this??

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.

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.)

the patient had an implanted pacemaker which is not eluded to here.  Just a note, adenosine is not capitalized except to start a sentence.

Maybe you will hear something back.

d~

"CPK and _______ were negative"  s/l intraconals??

Still on the pulmonologist's report...

What kind of surgery is it? If he used "lap" laparotomy pads may be the second one. They usually say sponge, needle and instrument counts. Will keep thinking on this one. Type of surgery would help.

Vocal cord lesion biopsy -

Peripheral -s/l orb or oral- sinuses were intubated to their apices and were normal.

Specimen was sent -s/l informal- and for pathology.

TIA!

OP report, lumbar spine

Next, fluoroscopy was used to place new screws at the L2-3 segment.  Starting points were identified at the confluence of the midpoint of the transverse process, the **manloid** process, and the pars interarticularis

He really mumbles through this part, so I am just not sure, but I have not heard this term used before. Thanks!

FINDINGS:  Epidurogram revealed normal (s/l-cephaloquadet-) contrast flow outlining the right L5 nerve root sleeve in the epidural space with good flow achieved medial to the right L5 pedicle.  The patient did experience some concordant L5 symptoms on the right side during the injection.  Vital signs remained stable throughout. 

Patient was premedicated with intravenous s/l Benadryl. 

Would that be right?

I never do op notes!  The sentence reads:

The S/L RAFFAY between the anterior and middle deltoids was then opened.  TIA!

The patient has focal severe slowing primarily in sensory fibers in the right upper extremity, on multiple restimulation unable to elicit a response to both s/l "Palmar 8" studies. 

I can't find this anywhere.  Anybody have any ideas?  Thanks!

The patient has a 4 mm calcification on the pelvis on the right which may represent a s/l flevolith, thus a right ureteral calculus could not be entirely occluded. 

general s/l elam anesthesia. New to OP reports! TIA
