Subject: Thompson fixation device
I am transcribing a paraesophageal hiatal hernia repair. Is there such a thing as a Thompson fixation device? I cannot verify it anywhere.

The abdomen was shaved, prepped and draped sterilely. Foley catheter was inserted, along with a s/l coomie device that was removed after her procedure. The bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed after I established the pneumoperitoneum and placed trocars for her and evaluated the sigmoid pathology assuring that the salpingo-oophorectomies could be performed satisfactorily without compromising the colon procedure.

hip fracture 4-hole plate fixation
When placed (guidepin) the initial placement looked slightly too far posterior, therefore it was withdrawn out to the fracture line and anterior pressure from the heel of the hand was pressed downward on the fracture area to more surely neutralize the pull of the s/l cellus and the pin was then advanced and was at this point more centralized in the head and neck fragment and better ....... (Can't find anything that the cellus would be) any ideas? TIA
