Medical - Medical (general) / Dermatological surgery report
Spanish term or phrase: Apositoc.
Hi everyone,

I came across the abbreviation "Apositoc." in a dermatological surgery report (Informe de quirófano de dermatología) in the "diagnóstico y técnica quirúrgica" section:

"Extirpación bajo anestesia local de carcinoma basocelular en dorso de 3 de mano derecha y envío a estudio histológico. Reconstrucción injerto de piel total. Apositoc. Electrocoagulacion de carcinoma in situ en mano izquierda."

I'm wondering whether it's a typo for "apósitos" which would fit in this context but I would appreciate any suggestions!

The report was issued in Spain and the target audience is in the UK.

Many thanks,

Nisah
