Cataract procedure - light cautery?

Subject: Cataract procedure - light cautery?

"Then the conjunctiva was tacked over the wound by light cautery at the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock meridians."

Where I have "light cautery" it sounded like he stumbled and it came out "glicautery."

So does light cautery sound right?

Subject: Binner bipolar cautery

My neighbor had the surgery for BPD, but I don't know the details.  She knew I was very interested in the details.  Since then she's become more secluded.  I don't know the exact reason, but it's unfortunate.  Hopefully someone else can weigh in on this as well. 


In the meantime, I'll keep looking.
