Fascia was drawn upwards with....kookoo?? - plug


Posted: May 31, 2012

here's a chunk of the dictation around it, during a laparoscopic appendectomy.

"We began by making a supraumbilical skin incision which we extended down to the fascia using blunt dissection.  The fascia was drawn upwards with _____ and we incised it with a knife, entering the peritoneal cavity."

It really sounds like he is saying "kookoos" or "krowkers".  Any ideas?

Probably saying Kochers... - sm

as in Kocher clamp or forceps.
