Hei! I'm translating a doctor's report following a back operation on a slipped disc, the above term appears in the following:
"prolapset [identifiseres]. Det incideres skarpt."
Can this simply be translated as "it is incised sharply"? Or is it more complex than that?
Tusen takk!
Alison.

Norwegian term (edited):
det incideres skarpt
Selected
a bold incision is made
'It is incised sharply or boldly' looks too stark and might well grate on a native 'English' readership, namely be complained about by genteel clients worried as much about style as medical accuracy. So, I am not going to draw on the subject a relative of mine who is a retired Professor of Medicine at Glasgow Royal Infirmary
Example sentence:
One bold incision from the uppermost limit of the swelling down to the coronary margin of the wall is usually sufficient.
Note from asker:
| Thanks so much, Eodd, I went with this in the end. Thanks to all who contributed. |

sharp
"Sharp incision performed" is how I'd word this. Medical notes are often somewhat "staccato" in tone
