A little peek at my work.

I'm working today (of course) and I just finished typing a tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty.  When they took off some excess skin from the patient's abdomen, they had to relocate her belly button, also known as the umblicus.  The doctor said this "

The umbilicus was relocated, defatted and sutured with 4-0 PDS sutures at the 2, 4, 8 and 10 o'clock positions to create an innie.  

I guess the technical, medical term for a belly button that goes in is "innie".  :-)
