German term or phrase: Narbenpole

Hey Guys,

I'm translating a post op check up and ran into this:

"Reizlose Narbe rechts mit noch einer ca. 5 mm im Durchmesser großen oberflächlichen Borkenbildung im Bereich des caudalen Narbenpoles."

I have everything except for "Im Bereich des caudalen Narbenpoles".

Any ideas?

Cheers,

If I may, I'd suggest "well-healed" instead ( with or without a hyphen, you decide). I asked because I know that many struggle with this term.

Asker: Thanks a lot lirka! This certainly seems to fit. I translated "Reizlose" as "Non-irritated"

Asker: "Well-healed" is a wonderful suggestion and I've never considered it until now. I'll be integrating this in with the translation as well. Thanks so much again!
