peer agreement (net): +1| Abwurf removal / extraction / collection Explanation: ... of the (tissue) sample Note, though, that I am still unsure about it - this is medicalese at its best ;-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2021-03-22 08:38:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The "Präparat" could also just be the excised/surgically removed bowel segment, rather than a "sample". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2021-03-22 08:39:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ADD: I've only just seen that you'd mentioned "specimen" in the context already, so my first thought seemed to go in the right direction. |

peer agreement (net): +2Handing off Explanation: Hi everybody, "Abwurf" in this context of an operation means "handing off" the specimen/biopsy/swab (and the like) to the circulating nurse for pathology/microbiology etc. As I retired surgeon I have dictated that in my reports thousands of times. "Abwurf" is not the same as "Bergen", which would be removal/extraction/collection. In a different phase of the operation it could also refer to the scrub nurse "dropping" things sterile onto the instrument table. But in terms of the present question it refers to handing off for pathology etc. |
