I'm having a hard time with a few words I'm transcribing for an Indian doctor. The first is-- Frontotemporal parietal craniotomy. Eviquation of subdural hematoma. I can't figure out what the underlined word is supposed to be. Also, it sounds like she says they used Midol for intraoperative relaxation. Could that be correct? Thanks as always for the help.

The area was then draped off in sterile fashion.  An incision from the root of the zygoma directed anterior and medial approximately 10 cm long was made with a scalpel through the gal-ia.  The superficial temporalis fascia was identified.  The STA was avoided. 


A Pentero microscope was then brought in for the majority of the rest of the case.  Under microscopic visualization the dura was opened.  The dura was tacked anteriorly using 4-0 Nur-lons
