operated area


Explanation:
This concerns infections experienced by the patient it seems to me. There could be a general infection, such as septicemia, or a localised infection at the area operated upon.

I would tend to use that that of expression:

the operated area.
the area operation upon.
the area of the operation.

The example is from the website Pubmed:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18837207

I meant to write: that type of expression (ie 'operated' rather than 'surgery') in this context.

Example sentence(s):
  • The indications for this procedure were symptoms of infection in the operated area...

I understand it as referring to the part of the body that underwent surgery, rather than the area in which surgery is being carried out.
