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.

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.

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!
