Cc/ccs - Do They Mean the Same Thing?

Question

Ccs just have S at the end because someone told me it was different!

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

I think that you are referring to the volume measurement of saline/silicone used in breast implants. Sometimes, people will use the same initials  to shorten "capsular contracture".

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

cc is the singular form and cc's are just the multiple form of the term "cc". cc is also the same as ml (mililiter).

Edward J. Bednar, MD · Answer

It may be an abbreviation for CCs to measure volume-I sometimes refer to either one.  If you need clarification, I would ask your PS at consultation.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Cc is a measurement of volume. Technically it implies a plurality so adding an S is redundant.

E. Ronald Finger, MD · Answer

I have not seen ccs written, but since a cc is 1 cubic centimeter, the additon of an s, as in ccs, probably means multiple cc's. This is also the same thing as ml or millimeter. The metric system is very practical. A cc of water at a certain temperature weighs 1 gram. a thousand cc's is 1 liter.
