Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Surgical intervention with a re-anastomosis can be attempted post-delivery. Methods of surgical intervention for oesophageal atresia would depend on the inter-pouch gap. The prognosis is variable depending on other associated anomalies."

Line 65:65 · 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-delivery.'.

Prefix Hyphens

warning

Line 65:157 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'inter-pouch'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Contrast swallow may show contrast blindly ending and pooling in an oesophageal stump and/or may show evidence of the tracheo-oesophageal fistula. Fluoroscopy is particularly useful in demonstrating H-type fistula. A withdrawal oesophagogram is performed for a H-type fistula. The patient is positioned prone and a horizontal beam is used, contrast material is injected through the nasogastric tube into the distal oesophagus while the tube is slowly withdrawn under fluoroscopy ⁸. If the imaging study fails to locate the fistula while there is high suspicion then combined bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy is used ⁸. The gap between oesophageal pouches is determined by inserting a Higer dilator through a gastrostomy into the distal oesophagus and Repogle tube into the proximal pouch; both tubes are radiopaque ⁸."
