Subject: status post a right modified radical mastoidectomy with an *s/l end concenter* position graft

This is an ENT doc who always pronounces things just as they are spelled regardless of the way it should be pronounced.  Anyone have any ideas on what this would be?


Thanks so much

We incised the urachus and umbilical ligaments and dropped the bladder down posteriorly. We incised the endopelvic fascia and preprostatic ligaments and placed 2 ligatures of 0 Vicryl around the s/l doors venous complex.

Venous complex is clear, but is that dorsal? First lapscc of these I have done. Stedman's GI/GU is not very good either.

Subject: Bilateral mastectomy

Only one mastectomy is being performed each on the right and left side. The same thing for bilateral tubal ligation, you would not put bilateral tubal ligations. If a person had four breasts and two were being removed from each side, then it would be bilateral mastectomies!

Yes, bilateral mastectomy. see inside
Subject: Yes, bilateral mastectomy. see inside

In medicine, mastectomy is the medical term for the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely.

Bilateral means both and mastectomy is one or two. Do not need mastectomies even though the doc is saying it.
