Meatus means opening.
Subject: Meatus means opening.

If you Google ureteral meatus with vesicoureteral reflux, you can read about it. We don't have the benefit of the whole sentence or paragraph so we know where he is, actually. This condition affects the kidneys, but hypospadias can go with it, so next thing you know they are talking about the urethral meatus. One quick clue would be whether he says right or left. Normally when talking about the ureters, they will say right, left or bilateral early on in the report. It's all about paying attention and knowing where they are. But do Google and read about it so you understand the condition so you'll know next time.

Subject: uterus was palpable, s/l ring incised-sm

I don't know if he is saying something like ring incised or ring sized.

Past history says: She had four cesarean sections, laparoscopic tubal sterilization, and a laparotomy with left oophorectomy and abdominoplasty.

In pelvic exam: PELVIC: Skene, urethral, and Bartholin glands within normal limits. Vagina, good support. Cervix was closed. No lesions were seen. Uterus was palpable, ______. s/l "ring incised" or "ring sized."

Could he be saying "ring incised" meaning he feels the incision from previous surgeries. Could it be he is saying uterus is "ring sized?"

Should I type this as 6.90 minus 1 with swelling? Just had the same doctor with another patient coming in with labor, and she says "Cervix is 390 and 0." That should be 3.90, meaning the cervical length, right? But what about this patient of 690 minus 1 with swelling? Is that cervical length of 6.90? Thank you.
