French term
on en rapproche
French to English
Medical
Medical (general)
My phrase: "En ophtalmologie, on en rapproche l’antibioprophylaxie de surface qui limite la charge bactérienne, y compris en postopératoire tant que les incisions ne sont pas étanches." Googling reveals many instances of "on en rapproche" in similar medical contexts but I can't figure out what is meant.

Hello,
Read it like this:
on rapproche l’antibioprophylaxie de surface en ophthamologie de celle déjà mentionnée = one sees similarities between antibiotic prophylaxis and topical antibiotic prophylaxis (their uses)
en = the antibiotic prophylaxis in the previous sentence (as described)
I wouldn't translate "on" by "one" here, but but another construction like "there is", etc.
I hope this helps.

L’antibioprophylaxie a pour but de prévenir l’infection post-opératoire, en faisant en sorte qu’un antibiotique adapté aux micro-organismes responsables d’endophtalmies se trouve à concentration efficace dans le foyer opératoire, afin d’éliminer les bactéries qui auraient pu y pénétrer. En ophtalmologie, on en rapproche l’antibioprophylaxie de surface qui limite la charge bactérienne, y compris en postopératoire tant que les incisions ne sont pas étanches."
