German term or phrase: A. Urethrastriktur
Anamnese: Mikton nachts 1 x, tagsueber oft, 2 x HWI. Frage des Patienten: Wieder HR-Striktur?

Befunde: Sonography: beide Nieren normale Form und Groesse
regelrechtes Parenchym-Pyelon-Verhaeltnis, kein Konkrementhinweis
Uricult negative

Diagnosen: Harninkontinenz; ***A.Urethrastriktur***

I know what Urethrastriktur means. I am just wondering, what the ***A*** (it looks as if there is no space between A. and Urethrastriktur) could mean in this context or if it is just a typo. Any ideas?

urethral stricture excluded
Explanation:
A. steht in diesem Zusammenhang oft für "Ausschluss", der fehlende Leerraum dürfte in jedem Fall ein Tippfehler sein.
(Wenn allerdings aus dem Rest des Berichtes hervorgeht, dass der Patient tatsächlich die befürchtete Striktur hatte, passt die Antwort natürlich nicht. ;-)

ante (prior)

anterior urethral stricture


Explanation:
An **anterior urethral stricture** is a scar of the urethral epithelium (the urethra’s outside layer of cells) and commonly extends into the underlying corpus spongiosum (a column of erectile tissue that surrounds the urethra). The scar (stricture) is composed of dense collagen and fibroblasts (proteins that form cell-producing connective tissue) and thus contracts in all directions, shortening urethral length and narrowing the diameter of the urethra. Strictures usually do not cause symptoms until the urethra tube is below a certain size.

exclusion of urethral stricture?


Explanation:
As Anne has already stated A. is certainly Ausschluß. A diagnostic attempt is carried out here to exclude the possibility of a urethral stricture, although it has not yet been excluded.

status post urethral stricture


Explanation:
I work as a medical transcriptionist, and when referring to a prior operation or illness, quite often I will hear "status post [affliction]," especially in the "diagnosis" section. "History of..." would work as well.

Example sentence(s):
  • This woman is status post coronary artery bypass grafting x3 in 1990.
  • Diagnoses: 1. Upper GI bleed. 2. Status post gastric bypass surgery.
