In many centres video assisted thoracoscopic surgery is used routinely to accomplish decortication. |
In the province of Ch-kiang, where I am now writing, decortication is effected in the field. |
For optimal deawning and decortication, the APS threshing system is equipped with multi-level adjustment options and additional components. |
The procedure is known as a decortication, and will require general anesthesia. |
In commercial processing the leaves, sorted according to quality and length, are subjected to machine decortication, a crushing and scraping process that frees the fibre. |
The fibres are usually freed from the stalk by retting but are sometimes obtained by decortication, a manual or mechanical peeling operation. |
