"The patient" is the first person singular pronoun used in this sentence. The AV fistula is the most recent antecedent in the chain of noun phrases. Thus it is probable that this is what the computer will take to be the referent. Nonetheless, "he" is the proper subject pronoun in this case (Kamp,2022).
"In the surgery room" is the second example of a figurative term. Because "too much oedema" is the most recent preceding noun phrase in the data, the computer will most likely use it to determine the intended meaning. To be more precise, "it" is the subject of the phrase and hence the proper object of reference.
The phrase "the surgery" serves as our third example of a referring word or phrase. Since "the incision" is the most recent noun phrase preceding this one, the computer will probably choose that one as the one being referred to. As the subject of the phrase, "it" is the proper object of reference (Ping et al,2014).
It is advisable to begin solving a reference issue by looking at the most recent noun phrase that is a pronoun or a proper noun. This is due to the higher likelihood of correct referents when using pronouns and proper nouns.
