Lint: lateral-lamella

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"The lateral lamella needs to be assessed on pre-functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) imaging studies. If one of the lateral lamellae is inferiorly positioned, this should be reported as this poses a greater risk of intraoperative injury. Its height is quantified indirectly via assessment of the depth of the olfactory fossa (Keros classification)."

Line 3:48 · 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: 'pre-'.
