French term or phrase: parvenu déjà ouvert et vidé de son contenu
Hello again
Sorry to bother you all again, this should be my last query.

Am I right here?

MACROSCOPIE:

A : Vésicule biliaire:
Reçu dans le formol, à l’état fixé, i! s'agit d'un spécimen de cholécystectomie ***parvenu déjà ouvert et vidé de son contenu*** mesurant une fois étalé 9,5 x 6 x 0,2 cm da diamètre. La séreuse est lisse et uniforme. La paroi est souple. A la surface muqueuse, a proximité de la région fundique. Il existe une ana légèrement surélevée, beige, à surface irrégulière et mesurant 0,4 x 0,4 cm de diamètre.

My version

MACROSCOPY:

A : Gall bladder:
A formalin-fixed specimen was received involving a cholecystectomy specimen ****which arrived already open and empty of its contents*** measuring 9.5 x 6 x 0.2 in diameter when spread out. The serous membrane was smooth and uniform and the wall was soft. At the mucosal surface, near the region of the fundus, there was a slightly raised, beige zone, with an uneven surface and measuring 0.4 x 0.4 cm in diameter.

Thank you!

A formalin-fixed cholecystectomy specimen was received already opened and emptied of its contents, measuring 9.5 x 6 x 0.2 in diameter when spread out.

Hollow organs are opened so that the fixative enters.

Even then, specimens often
require a limited dissection to maximize the
surface area exposed to the fixative, thereby ensuring
adequate fixation. Tissue with a hollow
viscous or lumina should be opened and solid
tissue partially serially sectioned at 5- to 10-mm
intervals.

In the same document:

One important issue to
address at the onset of the dissection is whether
the specimen is received intact. Not uncommonly,
a gallbladder is opened in the operating room
and the stones removed. Receipt of a previously
opened gallbladder should be documented in
the gross description.

Right up your alley :-)
