TOPIC: Request for feedback: Naming convention for procedures using a surgical approach

Request for feedback: Naming convention for procedures using a surgical approach 5 years 1 month ago #5898

SNOMED International is looking for input on how clinicians across countries describe procedures that use a specific surgical approach to support development of a naming convention for these types of procedures. In particular we are looking at the joining word used when combining the procedure and approach.

For example:
  • Repair of diaphragmatic hernia by abdominal approach (procedure)
  • Tympanotomy using permeatal approach (procedure)
  • Decompression of nerve via subclavian approach (procedure)
When following up on this please also consider procedures with a specific approach which also include other meanings such as the use of a device device or imaging etc.

For example:
  • Fusion of cervicothoracic region of spine with internal fixation by anterior approach (procedure)
  • Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of femoral hernia using synthetic mesh (procedure)

Please provide feedback in this forum before May 18.
Thank you!
