discectomy or diskectomy
Subject: discectomy or diskectomy

I am typing a report and spelled it discectomy; however I looked at a sample for this account and it is spelled diskectomy. I thought it was discectomy. I looked in Stedman's and diskectomy is not listed. I also checked stedman's online and it does not find it.

Usually the "f" would stand for "fusion," and maybe the "p" stands for "plating." This is why abbreviations can be a problem.
