neurosurgery term

Subject: neurosurgery term

In an operative report for a cervical laminectomy and fusion, the doc says "the screw holes that had been placed were placed using the s/l Howard On technique with 30 degrees lateral and 15 degree cephalad angulation from the center-center position.


Maybe the word I'm looking for is Howard An because it sounds like he say a-n right after he says the word technique, as if he's spelling An for me.  I can't document this anywhere in my Google search efforts though.

I have done more of this docs files that ANYONE elses... and I have never heard her say this before... "one q. day to p.a.p." she says it twice on two different meds.  She is always VERY easy to understand.  It's definitely not b.i.d. or t.i.d.  Does p.a.p. or t.a.p. exist?  I have googled all over the place and even had another MT listen to the file.  (please don't rake me over the coals... I'm a newbie - haha)


Help? Please? Thank you.
