I'm pretty sure you could use "indications" (for surgery).

This is a super old post, but indications is a false friend for indicazioni! Not a correct translation for most situations. I I suggest going with "directions" or "recommendations."

Hi Poppaea,

I agree with you that context is always necessary to find the best translation, especially in situations where there are several different possibilities. That said, (and to avoid misunderstandings) I would like to point out that in the context clearly stated in post#1, le indicazioni per questo intervento chirurgico sono ...the suggested translation is perfectly natural.

Ciao!
