If you google "ano fistula infant" you will see numerous reputable sites discussing surgeries for infants. BUT it looks like there are several different terminology phrases for the condition/surgery - none of which are just ANO and ANO doesn't seem to be an acronym. So, I think its a judgement call if you want to put it in or leave it. Hope that helps. Sorry I don't have more experience with it firsthand.

If you keep a notebook with alphabetical tabs, you could make yourself a heading under SIGN, and you could also enter the word under all letters it might be pronounced as. That's what I used to do. Saved a lot of time in the long run, especially when you don't have enough information about the patient's problem to know what system or body part they are checking.

This is one of those like harmonic scalpel. There are several different manufacturers of a "hemovac," but only Bard (I believe) has it trademarked. So, what I do, is I only capitalize it if the manufacturer name preceeds it in the dictation. Anyone out there who may have a definitive answer, please share! Thanks!
