Medical - Medical (general) / biopsy
Spanish term or phrase: donas
From a Mexican medical document, a biopsy report. Found in the "Macroscopic Description" section while describing one of the samples received for biopsy. Specimens include the appendix, uterus and rectum.
Full sentence is:
Se recibe un segmento de intestino que mide xxxx cm, de color cafe claro de aspecto homogéneo y sin observar lesiones aparentes. Se reciben dos donas, una referida con multiples grapas quirúrgicas y la otra referida con un tubo metálico.

I think this is a piece of surgical foam or something along those lines. Thank you!

"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."
