The statement you provided includes medical terminology that describes a patient's health status:
-
Status post cholecystectomy: This means that the patient has undergone a cholecystectomy, which is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder. "Status post" indicates that the procedure has already been performed.
-
Diverticulosis of the colon: This refers to the presence of small pouches (diverticula) that have formed in the walls of the colon. Diverticulosis is generally not symptomatic and is quite common in older adults.
-
No findings of diverticulitis: This means that there is no evidence of diverticulitis, which is the inflammation or infection of the diverticula. While diverticulosis can lead to diverticulitis, the absence of findings suggests that the patient does not currently have this complication.
In summary, the patient has had their gallbladder removed and has diverticulosis in the colon, but there are no signs of infection or inflammation associated with that condition.
