Need help with an OB/GYN term

[Sue Baker]

Or urology. Here it is:
...doing cystoscopy after major gynecologic surgery, namely hysterectomy, to check for uretery patency (I can't find that uretery or uretary is a real word, but I think I know what he means, examining the ureters.)

Thank you all!

[Jennie Ann]

Hmm, that's a toughie. Could it be "uretal patency"?

Check out this link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15580424

Sometimes speakers may have mushmouths and not pronounce the word correctly.

[Sue Baker]

Thanks, Jenny, yeah he did say uretary, probably made it up, huh?

[Karen Goldenberg]

Google it and see the results!!!

Thank you for the Pfannenstiel, mucho, mucho. The other one is pertaining to delivery of placenta, whether manual or spontaneous. This doctor says he routinely looks for every caudletum or erie caudletum. Case having to do with hemorrhaging and hysterectomy.
