Reflect the skin flaps

[Daniela-Acosta]

Hi, I'm translating an autopsy document. The word "reflect" (as a verb) is very repetitive and I don't know how to translate it to Spanish, any ideas? Please help.

I suspect that I know what you're talking about, but please provide complete context, ideally the entire sentence and the preceding and following ones.

Sure! it's like instructions to make an autopsy, here is an example of the word in sentences "Reflect the skin flaps" or "Reflect chest plate and strap muscles",and so on. What would be the best word for "reflect" in Spanish?

 

[Oceanest]

Revela, muestra, refleja ... ?

 

[ChemaSaltasebes]

Creo que se refiere a evertir en este caso; to bend or fold back.

De acuerdo con Chema (por supuesto) pero a veces también implica to cut at one attachment and then bend or fold back. Tendrás que determinar por el contexto si es evertir simplemente or "cortar y evertir."
