Curetaje
The most accurate translation is "curetaje". It means the use of a surgical instrument called "cureta" to scrape a surface.
Why not "legrado"? because that word refers specifically to the uterine procedure, whereas "curetaje" is the general term.

Let me be clearer, if you search for the verb "legrar" you'll see it means to scrape a surface, however if you use the word "legrado" in your translation, it may be confusing, since "legrado" is widely used in medicine to refer specifically to the uterine procedure, whereas "curetaje" is used as a general term.

: Your information is incorrect. While both terms are correct, 'legrado' is not used exclusively for uterine procedures.
