I'm translating a text dealing with "instructions to acommodate a probe". The asked term appears in the following sentence:
Introduce the probe through the incision and position the probe tip in the target area.
Possible options?

Thank you very much.

en la zona deseada


Explanation:
Es una forma general de decirlo. Si la zona deseada estuviera afectada por algún trastorno podrías decir "en la zona afectada", pero eso no lo puedo saber por el contexto.
