Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 See if you can hear " irritable " lesion. (per Stedman's Ortho & Rehab). It's the only thing I can find that even comes close. Hope this helps! Jen type of lesion Dr. dictates this word twice: I do not see a surgical ____ (s/l amenable, immenable) lesion in terms of lumbar discectomy, foraminotomy, or fusion. I do not see a surgical _____ (s/l amenable, immenable) lesion and will refer her again to....... I can't document amenable, except it is seen in my spell check, but not Stedmans neurosurgery book nor Taber's. In the first sentence I tried to listen to hear if he is saying " xxx reason " , but it sounds like lesion. Patient has back pain and disc bulge. Thanks, Ramona raleeii@...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Definitely sounds like it. Now that I read the definition of amenable, it sounds right. I couldn't figure out what amenable meant, until I realized to look at www.dictionary.com .... DUH! Thanks! Ramona raleeii@...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 This is a thought... I think amenable is correct, but just sounds weird. amenable: liable to be called to account; capable of or agreeable to being tested, tried, analized, etc. Hope this helps somewhat. Maybe there needs to be a comma between the two (surgical, amenable OR surgical/amenable). ; ) I go for the latter, again a thought. Best of luck.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Actually, the doctor is trying to see that he does not see a lesion that can be corrected or fixed with surgery. I hear this all the time, especially when a doc is doing a catheterization he will say something about a lesion that is not amenable to catheter-based intervention or surgery.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 My docs dictate amenable all the time. Surgically amenable just means that is would be responsive to surgery, that surgery would do the lesion some good.
