Working for a gynecologist who is new to me. She dictated a LEEP procedure. Prior to the procedure she states what sounds like "PAR" (or "PER" "PDR"?) discussion held. Thinking it may be "pre - something or other"?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cynthia, it is more usually PARQ. Go down to the bottom of this page and where it says "Search by abbreviation" enter PARQ (PAR itself has too many alternatives) then remove the Q word.

By the way 1) PAR(Q) is an extremely common abbreviation related to most surgeries, not just GYN. 2) the aabbreviation finder site is a part of this forum that you need to know about and use.

Thanks so much for your help. This is exactly along the lines of what I thought "PAR" meant, but could not find a definition that seemed to fit. Checked my Stedman's Acronyms and various medical websites online and came up short. Thanks for the heads up on the search capabilities at the bottom of the page. Still trying to learn the ins and outs of this website. In the three years I have typed for OB/GYN's this is the first physician who has used this term.

Thanks again!
