Spanish term

lecho operatorio

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) MRI
This comes from an MRI report:

CAMBIOS POST QUIRÚRGICOS POR ANTECEDENTE DE LAMINECTOMÍA A NIVEL DE C3-C4 Y ZONA DE MIELOMALACIA EN LA MÉDULA ESPINAL SIN EVIDENCIA DE LESIONES DE ASPECTO EXPANSIVO NI ZONAS DE CAPTACIÓN ANÓMALA EN EL LECHO OPERATORIO QUE SUGIERAN RECURRENCIA O PERSISTENCIA DE PATOLOGÍA NEOFORMATIVA.

Does "lecho operatorio" somehow refer to the physical area within the MRI machine? (This MRI is only of the spinal column.)
Or are they referring to the area of the patient's previous surgery?
I don't get it. I only know a "lecho" as a bed. Thank you in advance!
