The rationale of this study was that open cholecystectomy performed by rectus sparing technique is the preferred method of laparotomy with symptomatic gall stones because of better outcome in terms of decreased
postop pain and reduced incidence of incisional hernia.
Due to medicolegal problems the patient was discharged on the 12th
postop day with normal phonation and tolerating oral semi-solid and liquid diet.

Unrecognized preoperative cognitive impairment in older patients without dementia who are undergoing THA/TKA is a common and powerful risk factor for
postop delirium and other complications, as demonstrated recently by investigators at Harvard University and affiliated hospitals.
At his 8-week
postop appointment, the fluid accumulation had resolved, and he was completely asymptomatic.
At 12 weeks
postop, the patient had full range of motion of his elbow joint and adequate varus and valgus stability, and control X-rays done showed union of the avulsed medial epicondyle fragment (Figure 6).
The groups were assessed for pain and infection on 1st and 5th
postop day.
So, when you or a member of your staff call back biopsy or lab results after a procedure, or call to schedule or change a
postop appointment, speak to a relative, give instructions to the visiting nurse, or provide reassurance after a procedure, you or your staff member should generate a very brief note in the chart, plug in the working diagnosis, put that 99024 in there, and make sure the billing company posts it.
