aortic root is correct, plus SM
Subject: aortic root is correct, plus SM
probably "Mitral valve - grossly normal valve leaflet morphology and motion."
"Left ventricle - normal systolic and diastolic dimensions, grossly normal segmental wall motion and systolic function overall."
"Aortic valve - mildly sclerotic valve leaflets with no frank stenosis or regurgitation."
Where it says "Atrium normal.", listen for "Right atrium - normal."
Also maybe: "No significant effusion. Intracardiac masses or thrombi - none observed."
And a couple of other places where similar dashes would be appropriate.

Subject: Colposcope, root word?
The doc is a gyn oncologist. The patient has a tumor in the rectovaginal mucosa and he says "On rectovaginal exam, this lesion did protrude into the left para-colpus." Stedman's shows colpo- as having to do with the vagina, as we know, but I find no root word such as "colpos" or "colpus." How would you type this?

Back in the early 80s I loved Stedman's but I found way too many discrepancies, even called them once and they said if we find any other discrepancies to feel free to call them and let them know because WE are the MTs and they need our input.
However, I prefer Claudia Tessier's Surgical Word Book, Vera Pyle's Medical Terminology book, and then the internet where you can find the manufacturer's website and see the CORRECT spelling.
Just my humble opinion....JMHO....
and we all can agree to disagree too....

Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.
