I've checked the archives and have found that "in situ" was suggested for this on a previous occasion, but I am not really convinced that this is the correct translation.
The term comes up several times in my hospital report. Some examples:
fegato: palpabile, in sede.
polsi arteriosi in sede, iposfigmici.
sistema ventricolare in sede di dimensioni nei limiti di norma
Is in situ really the best translation for this? I'd appreciate your comments. This is for the UK.

orthotopic
In sede indicates that the organs, pulses etc, are found in the appropriate places. A technical term would be "orthotopic".
On the other hand, I have a feeling that specifying "in sede" is typically Italian, and would either be omitted or replaced by the respective location in an English report (e.g.: Liver: palpable below right costal margin; Arterial pulses diminished)
