The doctor is listing the patient's surgeries so I do not know anything about the following except for what it sounds like: s/l "omar transforisition" on the left side.  Sorry that is all I have.  Thank you in advance for any help.
Eye surgery - how would you type two ought, as in... sm
Subject: Eye surgery - how would you type two ought, as in... sm


"A two-ought probe was passed through the upper and lower punctum."  I think "ought" can mean zero, so would it be typed "A 00 probe" ?  It seems like I remember this dictator saying "double oh probe" before.

Here's the sentence:

I think this is the type of incision used in Head and Neck Surgery. see inside
Subject: I think this is the type of incision used in Head and Neck Surgery. see inside

Schobinger 1957-(fig 3a and 3b) Higher horizontal incision allows easier access to oral cavity and
various modifications for posterior vertical limb.
Shorter superior flap allows midline lip splitting extension with less likelihood of loss of tip (Becker 1984, fig 3c)

Also found:

Surgical treatment of many tumors of the head and neck require extended approaches. Many cervicotomies have been described in the treatment of head and neck and cervical tumors; careful thought must be made by a surgeon when surgical treatment is planned for an extended tumor.Our purpose is to show the versatility of the modified Schobinger incision.

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!
