Procedure is a cold-knife conization of the cervix uses what sounds like a "clubbing" knife?? The word is really mumbled, so I really can't make much out at all. Anyone have a guess as to the type of knife this is?

Gamma knife
I'm taking a poll. I typed Gamma knife in an op report. I looked it up in Tessier The Surgical Word Book to confirm that the G is capitalized, which it was when used with knife. I had numerous 'typo' QAs and it was changed to gamma knife.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!
