Portuguese term or phrase: leito cirúrgico

English translation:operative/surgical field
Explanation:
The wound bed was left open, presumably because the wound was too extensive or the tissue around it was damaged. It has nothing to do with furniture.

Hyperbaric oxygen can be used in such cases, and antibiotics are commonly indicated.

The word "extenso" means that the surgical field was wide. Wider wounds are more difficult to heal. This is why they are prescribing antibiotics and hyperbaric therapy.
