RE: URGENT: ES (Peru) > EN (U.S.): Medical report, eventrado

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

From the " Diccionario Espasa de Medicina " :

hernia incisional / incisional hernia

Cirugía general

La que se produce tras una incisión quirúrgica. Se produce, en general, en

el abdomen o en la región lumbar (eventraciones) por la presión que tiene la

cavidad abdominal, pero también puede producirse en las extremidades, por

defecto de las fascias musculares, a través de las que se hernia el vientre

muscular (hernia muscular). Ver eventración. -

The right hemidiaphragm shows a moderate incisional hernia...

HTH!

Subject: URGENT: ES (Peru) > EN (U.S.): Medical report, " eventrado "

Hello everyone,

Translating a medical report and I can't seem to resolve this one

term between asterisks:

" El hemidiafragma derecho esta moderadamente ****eventrado**** y se

proyecta aproximadamente un espacio intercostal y medio mas alto que

el del lado izquierdo. "

Does this mean that the right hemidiaphragm is moderately herniated?

Thanks in advance,

Hi ,

that was my direct interpretation on seeing the message headline, confirmed by

your sentence; as you know, " eventrado " is really " disemboweled " .

There is also a condition called " raised

hemidiaphragm " which is common

in liver related disorders ... this only because of the description in your

sentence, because there is the Spanish option

" hemidiafragma elevado " , so consider from your overall context whether this

might be possible.

Hello Annie,

PERFECT! Thank you SO MIUCH ...

Given this information, and since it said it was “moderadamente eventrado,”

I will go with “moderately eventrated.” Perhaps I could also go with

“moderately elevated,” which was how I had translated it in the very

beginning before I started wondering if it referred to herniation instead

....? A friend pointed out that she’d found “eventración " (ventral hernia) in

a dictionary on her end, which was what threw me off.

The patient had a fairly serious intestinal obstruction and other problems

which caused the internal organs to shift to compensate, so it all makes

sense.

Thanks again and all the best,

Re: URGENT: ES (Peru) > EN (U.S.): Medical report,

" eventrado "

In English, see:

diaphragmatic eventration OR eventration of the diaphragm

Definition : Extreme elevation of a half or part of the diaphragm, which is

usually atrophic and abnormally thin.

HYPERLINK

9.html

The 2 terms [eventrated vs. herniated] are not synonymous. See :

Eventration of the diaphragm and diaphragmatic hernias are the most commonly

encountered defects.

An eventrated diaphragm may be so thin as to be little more than its

membranous investments, yet organs do not herniate through it. Such a

thinning of the abdominal wall would lead to gross herniation.

" Incisional hernia " refers to a hernia at a surgical incision, usually an

abdominal incision.

I would say " There is moderate elevation of the right hemidiaphragm " .
