French term or phrase: table à sciatique
From a write-up of an operation for 2nd arthrodesis of the hip. The report is very disjointed, pratically in bullet-point format, so difficult to find flow:

AG Décubitus ventral.
Table à sciatique.
Contrôle ampli de brillance.
Reprise de l´abord postérieur
...

If i take sciatique as referring to the hip rather than the nerve then presumabely this is some sort of operating table, or table position, or table accessory to make the approach easier, but I can´t find anything to back up this presumption.

Thanks in advance.
