I'm pretty sure it's a brand name or named after the surgeon who developed the technique. Normally I don't totally trust Google unless I see it's a reliable source. I didn't find Hextan or Hextant on MT Desk which totally amazes me. I got NO hits on Google for Hextant, but 2 hits for Hextan... It's probably best if you verify it, and please let us know what you find out and I'll put it in my Lil Red Notebook in case I ever get it.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Okay I just spoke with our US tech and she said it is hextant and it just means the type of method that is used for doing more than one biopsy.
