The following is an example of my transcription skills from part of a surgical procedure:

After hemostasis was attained with electrocautery, the gallbladder was removed and sent to pathology. All trocars were removed. The fascia was closed with 3-0 Vicryl and skin incisions closed with 3-0 Prolene. Steri-Strips were then applied and the patient was extubated and sent to the PACU in stable condition.
