capitonnage

English translation: capitonnage

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:capitonnage

French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / surgical procedure
French term or phrase: capitonnage
This is from a surgical report:
Capitonnage du Scarpa gauche pour lymphocèle.

I found "capitonnage" as the English translation in both of my medical dictionaires, but it doesn't get very many hits when I google it. I've found wadding, but the surgical report says "One procède ensuite au capitonnage de la cavité en trois plans avec des points en X de Vicryl 1.0", which doesn't seem to be "wadding" to me. Does anyone know if "capitonnage" is indeed the correct, commonly used term?
Thanks in advance!

Asker: That's the definition I found too, so I understand what it means, I just wasn't sure if this was the specific term. Thanks sktrans!

agree  Sara Mullin: The Dictionary of Medicine (Svetolik Djordjevic) also uses "capitonnage" as well as "dimpling"
