C-spine laminectomy - MTNorth


Posted: Dec 16, 2009

D: A small incision was carried out from C2 to C1. Hemostasis was obtained with bipolar and Bovie cauterization. __________ was placed in the wound and a supraperiosteal dissection was carried out, identifying the lamina of C3 to C7.

The blank, after listening four hundred times, still sounds like "wheat liner" but this guy speaks at the speed of sound, so I am stumped and unfamiliar with ortho surgery.

Any help is gratefully appreciated.
