Subject: laminotomy - surgical instrument help
Need help regarding instrument used for second laminotomy, a re-incision of a previous laminotomy scar:
"...superficial layers of the scar were dissected away... now set locks-(s/l) were used to bring the scar lateral to the laminotomy..."
Is it set locks, side locks or something else? I just can't tell from slurry dictation!
Thanks for any help. (My Stedman's surgery book is on order!)
