Metroplasty vs Septoplasty

[Guest guest]

Hi guys --

Local bookworm here ... to get very technical, here's the difference

between the terms metroplasty and septoplasty...

Metroplasty: surgery on or within the uterus (can refer to ANY surgery

involving the uterus)

Septoplasty: surgery involving a septum, any septum (can refer to vaginal,

cervical, uterine OR the septum in your nose ... can you tell I work with

ear, nose & throat MDs?)

So as far as our group is concerned, they are sometimes interchangable but

don't be surprised if your a primary care doc gets confused, b/c nasal

septoplasties are WAY more common than ours :-)

Can you tell I've got some projects I'm trying to avoid?
