QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Laparotomy - ✔✔an operation that allows the doctor to inspect the organs in the
abdomen
✔✔Laryngectomy - ✔✔an operation to remove all or part of the larynx
✔✔Laryngoscopy - ✔✔examination of the larynx with a mirror (indirect laryngoscopy) or
with a laryngoscope (direct laryngoscopy)
✔✔Laser - ✔✔a powerful beam of light used in some types of surgery to cut or destroy
tissue
✔✔Lumpectomy - ✔✔surgery to remove only the cancerous breast lump; usually
followed by radiation therapy
✔✔Mediastinoscopy - ✔✔a procedure in which the doctor inserts a tube into the chest
to view the organs in the mediastinum. The tube is inserted through an incision above
the breastbone.
✔✔Nephrectomy - ✔✔Surgery to remove the kidney. Radical nephrectomy removed the
kidney, the adrenal gland, nearby lymph nodes, and other surrounding tissue. Simple
nephrectomy removes just the affected kidney. Partial nephrectomy removes the tumor,
but not the entire kidney.
✔✔Oophorectomy - ✔✔the removal of one or both ovaries
✔✔Orchiectomy - ✔✔surgery to remove the testicles
✔✔Ostomy - ✔✔an operation to create an opening from an area inside the body to the
outside
, ✔✔Pancreatectomy - ✔✔Surgery to remove the pancreas. In a total pancreatectomy,
the duodenum, common bile duct, gallbladder, spleen, and nearby lymph nodes are
also removed.
✔✔Perfusion - ✔✔The process of flooding fluid through the artery to saturate the
surrounding tissue. In regional perfusion, a specific area of the body (usually an arm or
leg) is targeted and high doses of anticancer drugs are flooded through the artery to
reach the surrounding tissue and kill as many cancer cells as possible.Such a
procedure is performed in cases where the cancer is not thought to have spread past a
localized area.
✔✔Perineal Prostatectomy - ✔✔Surgery to remove the prostate through an incision
made between the scrotum and the anus
✔✔Pneumonectomy - ✔✔an operation to remove an entire lung
✔✔Proctoscopy - ✔✔an examination of the rectum and the lower end of the colon using
a thin lighted instrument called a sigmoidoscope
✔✔Prostatectomy - ✔✔an operation remove part or all of the prostate
✔✔Radical Cystectomy - ✔✔surgery to remove the bladder as well as nearby tissues
and organs
✔✔Radical Prostatectomy - ✔✔Surgery to remove the entire prostate. The two types of
radical prostatectomy are retropubic prostatectomy and perineal prostatectomy.
✔✔Retinal Detachment - ✔✔Retinal detachment is a condition in which the sensory
retina separates from the underlying pigment epithelium (surface). The detachment
disrupts visual cell structure and thus markedly disturbs vision. Detachment is usually
caused by a retinal tear and requires immediate surgical repair.
✔✔Retropubic Prostatectomy - ✔✔surgical removal of the prostate through an incision
in the abdomen
✔✔Salpingo-oophorectomy - ✔✔surgical removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries
✔✔Sigmoidoscope - ✔✔an instrument used to view the inside of the colon
✔✔Sigmoidoscopy - ✔✔a procedure in which the doctor looks inside the rectum and the
lower part of the colon (sigmoid colon) through a lighted tube. The doctor may collect
samples of tissue or cells for closer examination.
