separazione


Explanation:
Ritengo che l'autore volesse indicare suture nelle quali il chirurgo deve prestare attenzione a separare bene i piani di sutura, e pertanto debba usare piu' fili di sutura per separarli. E' comunque un aspetto molto tecnico del quale non sono sicurissimo; tradurrei: "per esempio aree nelle quali sia necessario espandere, distendere o separare i tessuti".
