Also, radiation therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for stage II seminoma patients, with a longer history of therapy than chemo treatments have. The patient provided re-consent for radiation planning today after goals and risks were again discussed with the patient. Risks for nausea, fatigue, fibrosis, diarrhea, potential future _s/l "cycle" malignancy, were all reviewed with the patient. He should continue on with his Dilaudid, and we will add on Motrin 400 mg every 6 hours with food to see if this helps him with his abdominal pain.

The retractor was then placed, and a thorough investigation of the thoracic cavity revealed the known mass in the left upper lobe. There were no appreciable pleural-based masses or nodules within the left lower lobe.

This fissure was well developed, and a GIA *sinny-kos* stapler was used to complete the fissure.

I've googled GIA stapler and looking for a similar word in/around it but just not finding. Doc tends to slur his words or sound quality just not good.
