Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 It is probably " tuberosity " - (1) an elevated round process of a bone or ( 2) a tuburcle or nodule per Taber's. Hi y'all: It's my favorite - NOT! - OB/GYN. I've got this same word/phrase in exactly the same sentence both in the findings and in the procedure description. I' m sure I should know it, but I've just about worn out the " tubal " to " tubule " section of my Stedman's OB/GYN Words book and nothing I see there sounds quite right. The endometrial polyps were visualized and resected with the loop with an 80-watt cutting current. Both _____ [sounds like " tubal ossity " or " 2 velocity " ] were visualized. There was excellent hemostasis. Any help very much appreciated! Jayni This e-mail has been scanned with Norton Antivirus updated no more than 12 hours ago. Is your virus program up to date?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Dear , Peggy, et al: Call me crazy, but I don't think tuberosity is it. I had thought of tuberosity, but I can't make that work because: 1. I looked at tuberosity in Stedman's Electronic Dictionary and it lists a BUNCH of them, but none of them seem to pertain to OB-GYN. 2. The word tuberosity is NOT listed in Stedman's OB/GYN Words. I know Stedman's makes occasional mistakes, but it just seems that if the word had a GYN connotation, it would be right there between tuberosa and tuberous. I'm probably WRONG, but it just doesn't work for me. Thanks for trying! Jayni This e-mail has been scanned with Norton Antivirus updated no more than 12 hours ago. Is your virus program up to date?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Of course, I first thought " tuberosity, " but there's no bone in the endometrium. How about tubae Falloppii?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Well, guess what? It's NOT tubae Falloppii, although I thought that answer would have made me look really smart. When I went back to listen for that, I clearly heard " tubal ostia. " That makes sense, since ostium (pluralized as ostia) means " a small opening, especially one of entrance into a hollow organ or canal. " Thanks, Valeria. I had listened 1,000 times, but time #1,001, prompted by tubae Falloppii, was the big winner! Jayni This e-mail has been scanned with Norton Antivirus updated no more than 12 hours ago.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Hi Jayni, The only thing that comes to mind is " tuberosity " or tuberosities for plural.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Jayni, Since this is an OB/GYN thing, it is possible that the doc is saying tubal ostia? I'm sorry, I am getting into this late and really don't even remember what the original question is, so don't know if that would fit or not. I believe it is the opening of the tube.
