"curage" is not a word in English.

The French "curage" may well refer to the excision of lymph nodes - as I specified in my reply to jlsjr long before Mrmanu picked up on it - but it is not at all clear from the context. You can also talk about the "curage" of an abscess for example - cleaning out the contents - in English we would call this "curetting" or "curettage" even if done with the finger (digital curettage).
And the word "curettage" is NOT restricted to the procedure performed on the uterus. You can also remove a skin lesion by curettage, for example.

Définition
Geste chirurgical consistant à enlever ou à nettoyer avec un instrument, une cavité naturelle telle que l'utérus ou une articulation entre autres. Il peut s'agir aussi du retrait d'un abcès ou d'autres tissus morts. Le curage quant à lui est le même geste, mais cette fois-ci en utilisant le doigt.

Suggested solution: if you can't get further information from the client (and I guess that would be difficult seeing as these are marketing survey responses), I would suggest a general term such as "site of curettage/dissection". You can't mention lymph nodes if there is no certainty that this is a "curage ganglionnaire".

curage bed


Explanation:
Curage is curage...
As far as "lit" is concerned, I am less sure in absence of context, but I assume it is the bottom of the cavity.

agree  Lionel_M (X): absolument ne pas confondre curage et curetage. Pour un médecin ceux sont deux choses diverses. "Curage site" is fine too

  -> Merci, Lionel. In French, there is a clear distinction but curage does not seem to be used much in English, though.

agree  Jean-Louis S.: I thought curettage required an instrument (curette) whereas curage is with fingers/hands.// OK on your last, and essential, point (the English part). The term has been used, though: [http://tinyurl.com/de6faz];[http://tinyurl.com/b9alg9]

  -> actually the term "curage" is used mostly in "curage ganglionnaire" which is lymph node excision - and certainly not done without instruments :-) I'm not aware of the word "curage" in English./look at the dates of those pubs - I'm not quite that old!

disagree  Lionel_M (X): Tu confonds curage et curetage qui en médecine sont TRES differents... http://fr.thefreedictionary.com/curetage
9 hrs
  -> the problem is that the word "curage" does not exist in English - I am well aware of the difference in French between curage and curetage but how would you translate "curage" then?

disagree  Drmanu49: How can you say curage is synonymous to curettage?
