donuts / doughnuts Explanation: Seriously. Dona means donut in Mexico: "dona s f Pan en forma de rosca, de masa dulce, suave y esponjosa, generalmente frita en mucho aceite y cubierta de azúcar: “Se me antojaron unas donas con leche”, donas de chocolate" http://dem.colmex.mx/moduls/BuscadorAvanzado.aspx "Q: How do you bill “donuts” as separate specimens from a colon cancer resection? A: A “donut” is a donut-shaped ring of colon that is a byproduct of the auto reanastomosis devices used in colon surgery. Donuts are submitted separately because they result from a change in the way the colon is resected. If donuts are examined microscopically, they constitute the surgical margins of the aforementioned colon segment. Donuts should be considered along with the colon cancer specimen, which is given the CPT code 88309, Level VI—surgical pathology, gross and microscopic examination, colon, segmental resection for tumor." http://www.captodayonline.com/Archives/feature_stories/0108_... "Doughnut [...] Surgery A sleeve of tissue excised after a major gastrointestinal tract resection, often of the distal colon, when a cancer extends close to the margin of the original segment" Segen's Medical Dictionary http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/donut |
