There is also the LAP-BAND (adjustable gastric band) which is the other gastric bypass surgery but the one with the least risks versus the Roux-en-Y.

I cannot confirm this "type" of trocar. It does not s/l "Veirs"-type trocar to me.
An incision was made above and to the left of the umbilicus, through which a #5/12 Visiport US Surgical trocar was inserted under direct vision into the peritoneal cavity. This was followed by placing another #5/12 trocar in the left upper quadrant. Another #5/12 trocar was placed in the epigastric region to the right of the midline. Another #5/12 trocar _____**s/l "varices"-type trocar was placed between the supraumbilical and the left upper quadrant trocar site. The abdomen was insufflated, and all the trocar sites were placed under direct vision.
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!

How Is Peripheral Vascular Disease Treated?
There are two basic ways to treat atherosclerotic disease: medication, surgery, and minimally invasive interventional procedures such as stent implantation and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The purpose of these treatments is to eliminate or reduce the symptoms you may have.
Medications can be used alone or in combination with one of the treatments. While medications do not eliminate the narrowing of arteries, they can help improve the efficiency of the heart and reduce symptoms such as leg pain, claudication, and hypertension.
In some cases, bypass surgery may be required in the peripheral arteries if the atherosclerosis is severe enough. Bypass surgery is a way of creating new channels to carry blood around the blocked areas in your peripheral arteries. With the patient under general anesthesia, surgeons take a portion of a small blood vessel from the leg or chest to use as the new "bypass artery." They sew or "graft" one end of the bypass to the affected artery and the other end to the artery beyond the narrowed area. Blood then flows through the new grafted vessel, "bypassing" or avoiding the blockage in the peripheral artery.
Some of the common surgeries in the peripheral anatomy are femoral-popliteal bypass (for the legs) and renal artery bypass (for the kidneys).

A proximal portion of this saphenous vein graft was then anasmosed to the proximal ascending aorta in the usual fashion using a 6-0 Prolene suture in a running fashion
sounds like "a nest closest" to the proximal OR
sounds like "an-as-mos-ed"...what is this and what does it mean so I understand the context of the sentence. thanks.
