Spanish term

Karlis

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Sagittal mandibular osteotomy
The term appears on a report of a surgical procedure.

Antisepsia y entallaje
Protección ocular
Taponamiento orofaringeo

Colocación de 6 Kharlis (3 superiores + 3 inferiores) OSTEOMED

MANDIBLE FIRST
Abordaje Obwegeser
Osteotomía sagital según técnica habitual bilateral, respetando el NDI (nervio dental inferior?), para anterorotación, avance y centrado
Colocación de férula intermedia

Fijación con placas rectas OSTEOPLAC de 4 agujeros con intervalo con tornillos de 5 mm monocorticales a nivel de cuerpo mandibular.

The term is written 'Kharlis' then it appears again as 'Karlis' but I didn't want to upset anyone by not following the KudoZ rules.

I would appreciate some help.

Thank you!

They seem to be called mandibulo-maxillary fixation (MMF) screws.
Helena Chavarria (asker) May 24, 2023:
@Marie Thank you for this. I thought it probably had something to do with a screw but I haven't been able to find any references. I've tried Kharly, Karli, Kharlies, Karlis but to no avail.

You're probably right, so please post your suggestion as an answer. I was going to leave it as it was, but I wasn't sure about the 'h'. Now I know :-)

The name Vasiliki Karlis (DMD, MD. Associate Professor Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) pops up in related searches, don't know if it has something to do with her.
