Hi Rachel, no don't think so. I've found other uses of the phrase on the Web refering to other areas, e.g. "rep�rage de 3 �l�ments qui seront �ventuellement mis sur lac"; "le paquet vasculo-nerveux qui doit �tre diss�qu� et mis sur lac"; "Voie ant�ro-lat�rale : exposition du tiers moyen de la diaphyse hum�rale, le nerf radial �tant mis sur lac"

secured/tied back

I think it might be 'mis sur lacs' which literally means to ensnare.

retracted

ligature material or special retracting/vascular tape is looped around the structure so it can be pulled out of the way - not necessarily tied off and cut.
