What do the letters mean on surgeons letter

I was just in my surgery for recently recurring pain 18 months after a total hysterectomy and saw something on a letter she pulled up on the screen it was rVA?? or something similar, I annoyingly can't remember. It was the letter to the GP following my surgery where stage IV endo was confirmed. Anyone know what it might have been so I can look it up? Thank you.
