comment Explanation: I'm not in a position to dispute Adam's suggsetion, but FWIW the GWNT says: (chirurgie) (mbt. een wond) ontdoen van de oppervlakkige lagen, waardoor een verse wondrand ontstaat die beter geneest |

irrigation Explanation: The mucosa was irrigated ...e.g. "Addressing first the right side, the remaining maxillary teeth, tooth roots, and tooth fragments were removed by way of forceps extraction. Identical procedure was then carried out on the patient’s left side. A small full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap was reflected along the lateral aspect of the left and anterior maxilla and lateral alveoloplasty was performed using rotary instrumentation with copious sterile saline irrigation. The mucosal flaps were reapproximated with multiple interrupted 3-0 plain catgut sutures after the wound bed was irrigated with sterile saline solution." ref. http://www.stedmans.com/AtWork/section.cfm/27/537?direction=... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2008-01-17 23:47:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thoughts, "trimmed" is probably the word I was looking for: "If this does not occur, then a little more mucosa could be trimmed, but it is always more advantageous to remove additional anterior tonsillar pillar than posterior pillar, because the act of surgical closure will advance the soft palate in a forward direction and increase the opening of the nasopharynx." ref. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-58062603.html |
