Afrontamos portales

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Posteromedial de rodilla - Diagnóstico y prescripción médica
El documento lo emite un médico luego de revisión al paciente ingresado a consulta por urgencias. Al inicio de la página está esto listado:

Posteromedial de rodilla
Afrontamos portales = ?
Apósitos y vendajes
Traslado a recuperación...

Yo sé que los portales son esos huequitos que se realizan con obturadores para procedimientos como remoción de cuerpos, y según he visto se traduce como portals, pero no sé qué quieren decir con Afrontamos portales.

Espero que alguien me pueda ayudar con dicha traducción al inglés. Muchísimas gracias por su valiosa colaboración.

As this is a list perhaps "portal access" would be better?

I think they are using "afrontar" in the sense of "tackling/approaching/accessing"

see:

Portal approach or portal access

would both work
