is a 0.045-inch K-wire or Kirschner wire. Sometimes doctors will say something to describe the action of it like the word "seeker" as in "0.045-inch seeker wire (or pin)." Does it sound like the dictator stumbled over the words at that spot?

The peritoneum was then closed over this with additional absorbable tacks. He tolerated this quite well.
