Scarpa

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Hospitalization report
Hi
This patient was hospitalized for a mechanical mitral valve replacement.
I have a few instances of "Scarpa" I think the author means "triangle de Scarpa" = "Femoral triangle" but I wanted to double check with you.
"Examen clinique à l'entrée: cicatrice de scarpa non vue"
"Plaie du scarpa gauche dans les suites de cannulation per opératoire"
"Réadaptation cardiaque après cicatrisation du scarpa"

Thanks for your help
