deep the level of the fascia or below the fascia - Confused


Posted: Mar 03, 2015

I have seen this so many times but am still not 100% positive what it is:

Two 1/8-inch Hemovac drains were left deep at the level of fascia/below the level of the fascia/below the fascia?"  He is not speaking clearly enough for me to be 100% positive.

Thank you.
