Dutch term or phrase: Caudale lamex en twee lamellen
In the 'Radical cystectomy' section of a Dutch document on bladder cancer, I have come across the sentence: "Voor de prostaat kan worden volstaan met insluiten van tenminste de caudale lamel met apex en urethra resectievlak (zonder parasaggitale lamellering) en twee lamellen". Does anyone know what the translation of "caudale lamel" and "twee lamellen" is? Appreciate your help!

English translation:Caudal slice and two slices
Explanation:
Are they preparing samples for anatomical pathology analysis? The lamellen are slices that they prepare and then later describe.

For example from (although this is about sentinel node procedure, the principle is the same) http://www.nature.com/modpathol/journal/v17/n10/full/3800202...
Sentinel nodes from all patients were cut along their longitudinal axes into 3 mm slices and entirely embedded in paraffin blocks following tissue processing.

caudal is the an anatomical position for "tail-end" http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caudaal
