Impossible to be certain that this involves only re-suturing. In which case it is better to use the standard translation for "reprise" IMO.
Timothy Rake Jul 29, 2011:
revision of what? I understand that something has been "redone" – but wouldn't the "avec nouvelles sutures" lead one to believe that patient was not "re-operated" but more specifically just re-sutured or restitched? Would either of those terms be perhaps more appropriate?

Finally, surgical revision is the most efficacious option. Resuturing the scleral flap [........] is our favored option.

thanks Juanita :-)
neutral philgoddard : This may be right, but doesn't Timothy have a valid point in his discussion entry? //I've just never seen "revision" used in this way before, but I'm not a medical expert.

and if you remove the old sutures and put in new ones, that's not a revision? / and have you seen "reprise" used in French medical texts?
