This is dictated in an op note on a right knee arthroscopy and partial meniscectomy. The doc says a s/l Poodoo drill guide was inserted and the tibial tunnel placed in an anatomic position.

Subject: some sort of tissue dissector - See message
He's performing a breast enlargement procedure. This is the second day he's
said this phrase and I just can't get it. Clear as a bell and have had
others listen. Maybe someone here knows it?
"After the endoscopic procedure bilaterally, the "arges dignum" tissue
dissector was then utilized to refine the submuscular pocket, ensuring both
sides were symmetric. "
Could be RGES Dignum or who the hades knows what. Anyone ????
