Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 In a report on surgery to reconstruct the mandible after ablation of an adenoma I have several occasions where blood vessels are said to be " placée sur lac " . Can anyone help with this phrase? I have not come across it before. There are few hits on Google but I cannot determine the meaning from them. The words occur in the following sentences: " Repérage de l'axe carotide primitif. Mise en place sur lac et on constate qu'il existe un début de carotide externe tout à fait fonctionnel..... " " Il existe une toute petite artère thyroïdienne supérieure qui elle aussi sera placée sur lac. " " ....on retrouvera à la partie tout à fait antérieure une veine jugulaire antérieure qui, elle aussi, sera placée sur lac et dont le calibre est tout à fait satisfaisant. " Many thanks, Hutchings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hello , Was intrigued by this lac mystery. As far as I can see it has indeed to do with encircling the vessel with a surgical tape in order to retract it and protect it. Hope it helps. Regards Patrice Pinguet PS: Just found out that googling the masculine form " mis sur lac " for ex. gives much more results with a bit more explanation ========================================== Patrice Pinguet Traductions Binnengasthuisstraat 64 NL-1012 ZD Amsterdam Tel: 020-4216516 Fax: 0847300705 E-mail: p.pinguet@... Re: TERM FR>EN placée sur lac Hello , Have a look at " encircled with umbilical tape " . Umbilical (surgical) tape is passed around the structure to enable it to be manipulated easily without damaging it. cheers Sue > > In a report on surgery to reconstruct the mandible after ablation of an > adenoma I have several occasions where blood vessels are said to be > " placée sur lac " .

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi , I think the original French term is " lacs " , though I'm not sure. But that's what I've seen more often. Best wishes, Debbie Re: Re: TERM FR>EN placée sur lac Thanks Sue. That fits perfectly. Now having got your answer and put " lac " into Google again with " umbilical tape " I have come up with an answer you gave to someone else in 2005 on ProZ! Is " Lac " a French brand of surgical tape or thread? Just curious. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
