Operationsdokumentation

Patient bei uns in Behandlung aufgrund einer feuchten Gangrän an seiner rechten Ferse. Laut Stellungnahme unserer Plastischen Chirurgie keine Möglichkeit einer plastischen Deckung. Deswegen ist bei einer rezenten Dehnung der Gefäße auf der linken Seite eine Unterschenkelamputation vertretbar.
Bei einer hochgradigen Aortenstenose wäre eine herzchirurgische Sanierung anzudenken. Davor muss der Patient aber fokusfrei sein.

Dear Colleagues,

What does fokusfreimean here, does anyone know?

Thanks in advance for any help!
