Etymology
The term "Cordon Bleu" is derived from the French words 'cordon' meaning 'ribbon' and 'bleu' meaning 'blue'. Historically, it was used to refer to the highest order of knighthood under the French king, where members wore a blue ribbon. In the culinary world, it refers to a high level of cooking expertise. In the medical field, it has been used to name a specific technique for hernia repair due to the intricate and precise nature of the procedure, likening it to the skill and precision required in high-level cooking.
Cordon Bleu Technique
The Cordon Bleu technique is a surgical procedure used to repair hernias. It involves the use of a mesh to reinforce the weakened area where the hernia has occurred. The mesh is placed in a way that it forms a 'cordon' or 'ribbon' around the hernia, hence the name. This technique is known for its effectiveness in preventing hernia recurrence and reducing post-operative complications.
