Subject: Does this make sense? Gastric bypass, sm

I cannot confirm this "type" of trocar. It does not s/l "Veirs"-type trocar to me.

An incision was made above and to the left of the umbilicus, through which a #5/12 Visiport US Surgical trocar was inserted under direct vision into the peritoneal cavity. This was followed by placing another #5/12 trocar in the left upper quadrant. Another #5/12 trocar was placed in the epigastric region to the right of the midline. Another #5/12 trocar _____**s/l "varices"-type trocar was placed between the supraumbilical and the left upper quadrant trocar site. The abdomen was insufflated, and all the trocar sites were placed under direct vision.


a stapler used in a laparoscopic gastric bypass
Subject: a stapler used in a laparoscopic gastric bypass

I'm doing an op note dictated by an ESL and he's referring to a stapler that he's using to create the anastomosis in a laparoscopic gastric bypass.  It sounds something like Acolumn, Ecolint or Acumint stapler.  I'm so stumped and would welcome any hints on how to figure out what the heck he's saying!

Anvil Test
