Spanish term or phrase: Se toman los músculos
Afternoon all,

I was wondering if you could help me with this ophthalmology discharge report from SP SP to UK English. The patient suffers from a detached retina, previously operated on twice before, and the report describes a third intervention performed recently. After describing the pre-op preparations it goes on to present a LIST of procedures carried out:

"Se practica:
- Disección de la conjuntiva temporal inferior a 2 mm del limbo
- *****Se toman los músculos recto inferior y recto lateral.*****
- 3 eslcerotomías del calibre 2
- Extracción del aceite de silicona de 5000 cks
- ..... etc


What does "toman" mean here? To "remove" the muscles?!?! Simply to "retract" during the procedure? "Take hold of"?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers, Neil

TOMA DEL MUSCULO
Una vez se tiene una zona de la esclera descubierta se introduce por ella el gancho. No hay que introducirlo a gran profundidad ya que se corre el riesgo de capturar grasa orbitaria. Si se calculan los milímetros a los que la inserción muscular está situada con respecto al limbo simplemente se entra un poco por detrás. El gancho se introduce con la punta siempre rozando la esclera para así evitar que la punta del gancho levantada lo haga salir a través del músculo. El gancho pasa por debajo del músculo, entre éste y la esclera. Si no se desliza suavemente nos podemos ayudar con una pinza que tracciona el tejido por encima de donde pasa el gancho para así dejarle más holgura. Una vez ha pasado todo el gancho por debajo del músculo se eleva la punta del mismo y en este momento es fundamental comprobar que todo el músculo está cogido y no ha quedado ninguna fibra suelta.

Explanation:
I'm no expert, I'm afraid, but have a suggestion. Perhaps it means the muscles are used as a reference for the level ("se toman como referencia"). There's an example in a book on a vitrectomy, which is related to the procedure for a detached retina. See Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology E-Book: A Systematic Approach, page 717, on Google Books.
