Portuguese term or phrase: a Progressi
Hi guys,

It's a medical report on breast implants and I have no idea what "a progressi" means here. Thank you so much for any help with that.

See text as it appears in the document:

“Diagnósticos: rejeição de prótese mamária; contratura capsular. Conduta: Tratamento clínico; cirúrgico em 17.5.94: Mastopexia – a Progressi, retirada de próteses de silicone.”
