Retract
Saludos a todos!

Estoy traduciendo un documento sobre una cirugía. En inglés dice "the abdominal contents are gently retracted out of the way."

Qué piensan ustedes?

retraction=distracción?? del contenido del abdomen...

gracias,

Marsopa

Hola, Quizá:

[El contenido/los órganos] del abdomen se retira(n) [suavemente/con cuidado/poco a poco/despacio] para que no estorbe(n).

El contenido del abdomen se retira suavemente para que no estorbe.

Hola Marsopa:

En sí no me gusta la palabra "distracción" para ese contenido. Me gustan más las sugerencias de David.

-O-

El contenido del abdomen se hacen a un lado suavemente para que no estorben.......

¿Qué piensas?

Sugiero que uses desplazar:

Los órganos del abdomen se desplaza con cautela para no estorbar.
(O algo así.)

Nope, never studied medicine, but I have done some medical-type translations before. And incidentally, that has taught me a lot of medical vocab in English!
