5.0 out of 5 stars Best reference for plastic surgery/ENT/dentistry words, July 8, 2000

By	Charles Eggerstedt (Coral Gables, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stedman's Plastic Surgery/Ent/Dentistry Words (Stedman's Word Books) (Paperback)

"Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words" is a gem of a reference for the transcriptionist doing work in any of these specialty areas. It is chock full with 69,000 entries derived from >40,000 medical words, phrases, abbreviations, and acronyms. These are conveniently cross-referenced. Who of us has not heard, for example, some kind of "flap" mumbled by the dictator while transcribing a surgical report; here, a list of >4½ pages of various types of flaps are blessedly enumerated. Additionally, surgical instruments and medications are handily listed as well.

Four appendixes complete this volume: 1) anatomical illustrations [54 pages of them!], 2) sample reports [op notes] ranging in variety from typical liposuction surgery to an orbiculopexy, 3) common terms of procedure [such as septoplasty terms, etc.], and 4) common herbs in both Latin and common terminology. This latter is interesting, but I am confounded as to what is its use in this volume.

Nevertheless, this handy volume is really the Bible when it comes to a reference for anyone transcribing medical reports in the above-mentioned specialty areas. I recommend it highly!

5.0 out of 5 stars STEDMAN'S PLASTIC SURGERY, ENT, & DENTISTRY WORDS, April 28, 2009

By	Jeannean S. Schliesser "Jeannean S. Resourc... (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stedman's Plastic Surgery, ENT & Dentistry Words (Stedman's Word Book) (Paperback)

I was so pleased with my reference book when I received it. This is the first in the series that I have bought. This book is jammed packed with information. There is so much more than just words. Sample reports, anatomy pictures, Appendixes of multiple topics, Surgery with the common words used in that surgery procedure. I was absolutely excited about a book. Every MT that types these types of reports must have this. Easy to use. I cannot say enough good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stedman's is the best!, May 14, 2004

By	Brian Hulett "okierazorbacker2" (Oinklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stedman's Plastic Surgery/Ent/Dentistry Words (Stedman's Word Books) (Paperback)

Absolutely agree with the earlier review posted below. This volume was published in 1999, and an updated volume should be coming along soon, but meanwhile, this exhaustive collection of words relating especially to ears, nose, throat, and teeth is without peer. If you're an MT looking into expanding your library because you've found yours wanting, Stedman's is the place to look, and this book is a crucial part of such a library.
