English to French Medical Medical (general)
Bonjour,

Il s'agit d'un document sur la chirurgie laparoscopique.

J'ai un doute sur la signification de "torque" dans la phrase suivante :

In many of my laparoscopic cases, it may take more effort to reach the upper quadrant of the chest cavity, which may cause undue ***torque*** on the patient’s rib cage and potential trauma to the intercostal nerve.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide !
