fibrotic area (here)
Explanation:
The area requiring surgical dissection is fibrotic for reasons not stated in this part of the text. "Scarring" and "scars" seems to me used more for the skin rather than for interior locations when referring to areas that have become fibrosed in reaction to some previous event.

agree  casper (X): How about 'in the presence of fibrosis' for 'dans un milieu cicatriciel' ? // Touché !
2 hrs
  -> also possible, but I do not prefer "in the presence of" as possibly ambiguous and imprecise for its location and the concept of "presence", at least in this kind of surgical description shorthand in a surgical report. Possibly in other contexts….
