The ejaculatory ducts, like rdom mentions, are in fact 2 and since they pass through the prostate they might be affected in the case of a resection.

Regarding PLD, since the tumor is inside the bladder and is giving its location, I'm thinking it'd be "pared lateral derecha".

Frank, I don't think OOUU means "orificios urinarios" since there is only one, which is the "meato urinario". Unfortunately I can't think what it can be right now.

Frank, OOUU must mean urinary orifices, like Roxanna says; it could be that the prostate was resected, but not the ejaculatory ducts. PLD could be "próstata lateral derecha". You really need an urologist here...

Frank Foley (asker) Jul 30, 2008:

Hi Roxanna, that's correct. I assumed OOUU was "urinary orifices", which doesn't give us an obvious left and right, as far as I know. :-)
Rdom, I think you might be onto something, as this is the only "right" that really makes sense. It seems that they got the patient in for a bladder resection, and ending up resectioning the prostate.
Por falta de algo mejor, I think I'll probably go with Carlos' translation, tho' I wish I knew what it meant. :-(

Roxanna Delgado Jul 30, 2008:

Hi Frank. So the paragraph goes: OOUU libres. El derecho retraído hacia la ... If that is the case, then they are obviously referring to the "right OU". Can you please confirm?

Raquel Dominguez Jul 30, 2008:

Perhaps it means the right prostatic lobe. Another structure of the male gender in Spanish would be the ejaculatory duct. Hope it helps.
