Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Many complications can occur following gastric banding. It is helpful to divide these into early and late post-surgical complications."

Line 1:161 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-surgical'.

Prefix Hyphens

warning

"On CT there is extra-luminal contrast, penetration of the gastric wall by the band, localised gas locules or pneumoperitoneum."

Line 34:19 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'extra-luminal'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Although the exact mode of presentation can vary depending on the underlying complication, common modes of presentation that lead to imaging evaluation include abdominal pain, retching and vomiting."

Line 3:174 · Use the Oxford comma in 'pain, retching and vomiting'.

"This is seen as concentration dilation of the gastric stoma and results from stomal stenosis, adhesions or nutritional overload. Findings include a tight stoma with delayed gastric emptying. Axial herniation of the stomach, oesophageal reflux and dilation can occur as late complication."

Line 36:88 · Use the Oxford comma in 'stenosis, adhesions or nutritional'.

"This is demonstrated fluoroscopically. Secondary complication from dysmotility or dilation such a gastro-oesophageal reflux, oesophagitis and aspiration may also be demonstrated. Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), a common side effect, is seen in about 12-22% of patients with gastric banding ⁸."

Line 43:121 · Use the Oxford comma in 'reflux, oesophagitis and aspiration'.

There Is

suggestion

"This can occur with either anterior or posterior upward herniation of the distal stomach upwards through the band, usually with an abnormal Phi angle. There is typically resultant eccentric (as opposed to concentric) pouch dilation."

Line 38:155 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
