Medical (general)
hospital discharge report
The following comes from a hospital discharge report involving a patient who suffered a knife attack:
"Hallazgos: 3 heridas incisas **localizadas 2 de ellas en lados de ellas**, en pared anterior del tórax y una tercera en hipocondrio izdo. con afectación de la piel y tejido celular subcutáneo (no penetrantes) "
Could this mean that two of the wounds were 1) located on their sides, (horizontally), 2) side-by-side (parallel?) or 3) to the side of something else?
It's probably quite simple, but from the way in which it is worded, I can't make sense of the description.
Many thanks in advance!

incised wounds, two of them located on the anterior wall of the thorax
Ignora la frase, "en lado de ellas". Yo creo que la frase tenía la intención ser así:
"3 heridas incisas, 2 de ellas localizadas en la pared anterior del tórax y una tercera en hipocondrio izdo."
Tiene más sentido así, ¿no?
