Q

Upper stomach near the esophagus is stapled vertically to reduce it to a small pouch. A band is then inserted that restricts food consumption and delays its passage from the pouch, causing a feeling of fullness.

A

Vertical banded gastroplasty

24
Q

Stomach is first stapled to decrease it to a small pouch. Next, the jejunum is shortened and connected to the small stomach pouch, causing the base of the duodenum leading from the nonfunctioning portion of the stomach to form a Y configuration. This configuration decreases the pathway of food through the intestine, thus reducing absorption of calories and fat.

A

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RGB)

25
Q

Creation of an opening of a portion of the colon through the abdominal wall to its outside surface in order to divert fecal flow to a colostomy bag.

A

Colostomy

26
Q

Procedure for crushing a stone and eliminating its fragments either surgically or using ultrasonic shock waves.

A

Lithotripsy

27
Q

Use of shock waves as a noninvasive method to break up stones in the gallbladder or biliary ducts.

A

Extracorporeal shockwave lithrotripsy (ESWL)

28
Q

Excision of a polyp

A

Polypectomy

29
Q

Incision of the longitudinal and circular muscles of the pylorus; used to treat hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.

A

Pyloromyotomy

30
Q

Series of radiographs taken after injection of contrast material into a joint cavity, especially the knee or shoulder, to outline the contour of the joint.

A

Arthrography

31
Q

Radiographic procedures that use low-energy x-ray absorption to measure bone mineral density (BMD)

A

Bone Density tests

32
Q

Imaging technique that uses an x-ray beam and a computer to make a series of cross-sectional imaging of a body part, which together make up a 3-D view of the area scanned.

A

Computer Tomography (CT)

33
Q

Radiological examination of the intervertebral disk structures by injection a contrast medium

A

discography

34
Q

Radiography of the fiver lumbar vertebrae and the fused sacral vertebrae, including AP, lateral and oblique views of the lower spine.

A

Lumbosacral spinal radiography

35
Q

Radiography of the spinal cord after injection of a contrast medium to identify spinal distortions caused by tumors, cysts, herniated intervertebral disks, or other lesions

A

Myelography

36
Q

Nuclear medicine procedure that visualizes various tissues and organs after administration of a radionuclide

A

Scintigraphy

37
Q

Scintigraphy procedure in which radionuclide is injected intravenously and taken up into the bone.

A

Bone scintigraphy

38
Q

Procedure that restores a bone to its normal position.

A

Reduction

39
Q

Reduction procedure where fractured bones are realigned by manipulation rather than surgery.

A

Closed reduction

40
Q

Reduction procedure that treats bone fractures by placing the bones in their proper position using surgery.

A

Open reduction

41
Q

Application of a solid, stiff dressing formed with plaster of Paris or other material to a body part to immobilize it during the healing process.

A

Casting

42
Q

Application of an orthopedic device to an injured body part for immobilization, stabilization, and protection during the healing process

A

44
Q

Partial or complete removal of an extremity due to trauma or circulatory disease

A

46
Q

Surgical breaking of an ankylosed joint to provide movement

A

47
Q

Visual examination of the interior of a joint and its structures using a thin, flexible fiberoptic scope called an arthroscope that contains a magnifying lens, fiberoptic light, and miniature camera that projects images on a monitor.

A

Arthroscopy

48
Q

Implanting or transplanting bone tissue from another part of the body or from another person to serve as replacement for damaged or missing bone tissue

A
