Uterotomy, performed with a uterotome as the utible instrument. Ha! new word for me.
From now on I will use utible for usable. Or utilious? Even better. Love that OED!

I have heard the phrase "to dollar it to death." Somehow translating this into the British monetary equivalent doesn't quite work.
