Czech term

nebol. HO, LO, tapot. bilat.

Czech to English Medical Medical (general) General examination
The above is part of a Czech medical exam, in the general part where the abdomen is being checked. Here is the whole context:

"Břícho: měkké, prohmatné, palp. nebol. HO, LO, tapot. bilat. negat. ..."

The only part I do not understand at all is "HO, LO, tapot." I gave more for context.

What do these abbreviations and words mean in English?

Thanks,

Stephen

'tapottement' flank percussion - there is such a term as 'tapottement' in English but it is more of a massage term and all English-speaking doctors have just looked at me blankly when I ask them about it. Basically it is to see if there is any tenderness in the inguinal region, indicating the presence of a kidney stone. Can't think what HO and LO are at the mo ... probably not important in the grand scheme of things as they are negative ...

no pain on palpation in the hepatic and spleen region, percussion bilaterally negative

"palp.nebolestivé" stands for "palpačně nebolestivé" "no pain/tenderness on palpation"
"tapot. " means "percussion"
"prohmatné" means that on palpation and deep palpation you don't meet any abnormal resistance
but no idea about HO and LO, I think it refers to abdominal regions, but I couldn't find the full Czech term. Maybe it is "liver region" and "spleen region" "hepatická oblast" "slezinná oblast" as already Misha suggested, but not sure.
