He states, "A HUNDLEY-Brunner incision was drawn out along the axis of
the cord, with apices at the patient's skin crease." Again, this is
not my area of expertise. I am totally stumped here. HUNDLEY, HENLEY,
HUNTLEY?? Thank you.

I wonder if the doc was trying to say "hemi" Brunner incision, as in
zig-zag. However, I only saw a 'hemi-Brunner' incision referred to
once when I Googled it, so I'd question the reliability of 'hemi'.
Sorry, couldn't come up with much else!
