A surgical instrument used for cutting a circular hole?

A trephine is a surgical instrument used for cutting a circular hole in bone or other tissue. It consists of a cylindrical cutting blade attached to a handle. The blade is rotated by hand or by an electric motor, and it cuts through the tissue as it is advanced. Trephines are used in a variety of surgical procedures, including bone grafts, joint replacements, and biopsies.
