Hello,
I have a medical report and I am stuck with translating "interconsultado". The full sentence is "Se encontró un pequeño pólipo vesicular, lo que fue interconsultado a cirugía digestiva, concluyéndose que no era de riesgo, ni requiere de colecistectomia".
I appreciate your help on this.
Many thanks,
Salma

: It doesn't say that the consultation was "required"; there's a better way to phrase it. I still think 'required' wasn't necessary.

You are right in that it doesn't say that it was required, but when a doctor or deparment in a hospital requests an interconsultation it is because they need it (they require it).

In Chile at least, when something is found which cannot be diagnosed or treated correctly in a small medical facility, the patient is "derived" to another facility which can do it. The term used for this is "interconsulta". In this case it means the polyp was examined by a digestive surgeon in another place who concluded that it did not present a risk.
Note from asker:
| Thank you for your answer! So, the patient would have been 'directed to' a digestive surgeon at another medical establishment. This makes sense. Thanks for your help! |

: I agree with your interpretation, but we don't say 'derived' in this context in medical English.

Spanish term (edited):
lo que fue interconsultado a cirugía digestiva
After consultation with the Digestive Surgery Dept
I would start a new sentence here.
After consultation with the Digestive Surgery Dept, it was concluded that there was no risk.

: An answer has already been given by an MD; here they are actually consulting with the GI specialists, rather than sending a referral to them, which would take longer

in Chile an "interconsulta" is when a doctor sends a patient to another doctor, normally of a different speciality, that is called referral and it has absolutely nothing to do with one doctor consulting another, at lest in Chile. I worked in the NHS there

Discussion
It is important to make a distinction between "to refer" and "to consult" (interconsultation).
When a patient is referred he/she is actually SENT to another specialist, but when he/she is the subject of an interconsultation it is the original doctor who will talk to other specialists and seek advice, and in some cases those other doctors will come and see the patient.
Here is the definition of "refer" from the Merrian-Webster: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/referring?show=0&t...
Your original Spanish text says "interconsultado". It doesn't say "referido".
