which usually identify the type of procedure performed. The "main terms" represent:
Procedures -- Aortogram, audiometry
Operations -- Appendectomy, cholecystectomy
Nouns

b. Eponyms (procedures named after people) are listed in the Alphabetic Index
both as main term entries in alphabetical sequence and under the main term
"operation." A description of the procedure or anatomic site usually follows the eponym.
