Word	Pronuciation	Definition
Appendectomy	ap′pen-dek′tō-mē	Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix of the intestines.
Adenoidectomy	ad′ĕ-noy-dek′tŏ-mē	Adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoids or for the removal of adenoid tissue from the nasopharynx (part of the “throat.”)
Arthroscopy	ar-thros′kŏ-pē	Arthroscopy or arthroscopic surgery: Arthroscopy is a procedure used to examine the inside of a joint by inserting a thin tube (arthroscope) containing a camera and light through small incisions near the joint. The camera sends a close-up video image of the joint to a TV monitor, where the doctor can look at the inside of the joint.  Arthroscopy can be used to diagnose joint diseases and injuries and to treat some joint problems. The doctor can insert surgical instruments through the arthroscope to take tissue samples or to repair injuries or damage to the joint. The doctor may make other small incisions in the joint to insert other instruments. Generally, recovery after arthroscopic surgery is quicker and easier.
Axillary	\'ak-sə-,ler-ē; -,le-rē\	Axillary is relating to, of, or located near the axilla  [axilla: The cavity beneath the junction of a forelimb and the body; especially : armpit]
Biopsy	bī′op-sē	A biopsy is a medical test involving the removal of cells or tissues for examination. The tissue is generally examined under a microscope by a pathologist, and can also be analyzed chemically (for example, using PCR or gas chromatography techniques).   When only a sample of tissue is removed, the procedure is called an incisional biopsy or core biopsy. When an entire lump or suspicious area is removed, the procedure is called an excisional biopsy. When a sample of tissue or fluid is removed with a needle, the procedure is called a needle aspiration biopsy
Cholecystectomy	kō′lē-sis-tek′tō-mē	Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder.
CPT Code		CPT stands for "Current Procedural Terminology" and is a standard coding system that is a numbering system to identify procedures and services provided by physicians and other providers, including hospitals, laboratories, imaging centers, urgent care and other clinics.  CPT codes are used as a standard way to identify procedures and are used by insurance companies and the government to determine reimbursement for these procedures.
Cystoscopy	[si-STOS-kuh-pee]	Cystoscopy, also called a cystourethroscopy or, more simply, a bladder scope, is a test to measure the health of the urethra and bladder.  The inspection of the interior of the bladder by means of a cystoscope. The procedure involves inserting a tube into the urethra. (The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.)  It allows the doctor to visually examine the complete length of the urethra and the bladder for polyps, strictures (narrowing), abnormal growths, and other problems.
Dissection	di-SEK-shuhn	Dissection is removal by cutting apart in order to examine the structure and relation of parts in detail to aid analysis.
Endoscopy	en-dos′kŏ-pē	Endoscopy is the examination of the interior of a canal or hollow viscus by means of a special instrument, such as an endoscope, which is an instrument for the examination or surgical manipulation (e.g., biopsy, resection, reconstruction) of the interior of a canal or hollow viscus. A surgical procedure done with an endoscope may be indicated as and Endoscopic procedure, to distinguish it from a similar procedure that is done as an open surgical procedure.
Hysterectomy	his′ter-ek′tŏ-mē	Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus; unless otherwise specified, usually denotes complete removal of the uterus (corpus and cervix).
Laparoscopy	lap′ă-ros′kŏ-pē	Laparoscopy/Laparoscopic surgery is a modern surgical technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5-1.5cm) as compared to larger incisions needed in traditional surgical procedures. Laparoscopic surgery includes operations within the abdominal or pelvic cavities, whereas keyhole surgery performed on the thoracic or chest cavity is called thoracoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery belong to the broader field of endoscopy. Laparoscopy might also be referred to as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), bandaid surgery, keyhole surgery, or pinhole surgery.   The key element in laparoscopic surgery is the use of a laparoscope: a telescopic rod lens system, that is usually connected to a video camera (single chip or three chip). Also attached is a fiber optic cable system connected to a 'cold' light source (halogen or xenon), to illuminate the operative field, inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula or Trocar to view the operative field. The abdomen is usually insufflated with carbon dioxide gas to create a working and viewing space. The abdomen is essentially blown up like a balloon (insufflated), elevating the abdominal wall above the internal organs like a dome. The gas used is CO2, which is common to the human body and can be absorbed by tissue and removed by the respiratory system. It is also non-flammable, which is important because electrosurgical devices are commonly used in laparoscopic procedures.
Lesion	[LEE-zhuhn]	Lesion is the medical term for an injury; hurt; wound. or in Pathology any localized, abnormal structural change in the body.
Lumpectomy	lŭmp-ek′tŏ-mē	Surgical removal ("excisition") of a tumor without removing much of the surrounding tissue or lymph nodes; performed in some cases of breast cancer--different from related surgery in that it only removes a limited amount of associated or tissuesurronding the tumor or cyst or other lesion

Vitrectomy	və-,trek-tə-mē	Vitrectomy is a microsurgical procedure in which specialized instruments and techniques are used to repair retinal disorders, many of which were previously considered inoperable.  Vitrectomy is a surgery to remove some or all of the vitreous humor (the eye's clear internal jelly) from the eye. Anterior vitrectomy entails removing small portions of the vitreous from the front structures of the eye - often because these are tangled in an intraocular lens or other structures. Pars plana vitrectomy is a general term for a group of operations accomplished in the deeper part of the eye, all of which involve removing some or all of the vitreous - the eye's clear internal jelly.
Tonsillectomy	ton′si-lek′tŏ-mē	Tonsillectomy is the urgical removal of the entire tonsil or tonsils (the palatine tonsil) which are a pair of prominent masses of lymphoid tissue that lie one on each side of the throat that can become infected.

The prices listed are approximate calculations of the total cost of services for a specific encounter/visit and are not fixed quotes. As a patient, the amount for your procedure may vary due to a number of circumstances: 

• The need for additional testing, medications, services or procedures ordered during your care and/or hospital stay.
• The procedure planned may not be the procedure performed based on your physician's initial assessment. When the surgery or procedure is done, your personal circumstances may change and warrant a different or additional procedure.
• Pre-existing health factors such as obesity, diabetes, and smoking may impact your overall medical needs, and may complicate your procedure or surgery.
• If you have commercial insurance, the type of insurance, deductibles, co-insurance and other out-of-pocket limits will determine the final amount for which you are financially responsible.
