TAH/BSO. s/l *Bat clamps* were placed on either side and the ovaries and tubes were removed to improve visualization.

Thanks,

I can't think of any way to hint this, but BABCOCK clamps are very common in GYN surgery. Check out the first few Google hits (just the text of the hit itself should help).

Or just pick up your equipment book and look under clamps B. . . which is what I did when I knew it was on the tip of my mind.

Babcock would seem to be the obvious answer here, but he just isn't saying that. I listened for that and it is definitely one syllable and sounds like "bat". I looked in my book and googled before I even posted here and didn't find anything like it. I was hoping that maybe someone else had come across it. Thanks for your time.

Leave a blank, then, but I still think it is likely he is just slurring Babcock.

Could he be shortening it and saying, Bab clamps?
