surgical history s/l all-tee
Subject: surgical history s/l all-tee

Patient is being seen for balance problems. There is a lot of focus in the report on various tests and her previous tethered cord, lumbar stenosis, laminectomy, etc.

Past surgical history includes: "repair of a spinal fluid leak and (s/l all-tee) then the lumbar spine fusion."

Any ideas as to what the all-tee might be? At first I thought it was the doctor stumbling over her words, but upon re-listening, I'm not so sure!
