Hello.
I'm not sure I have understood "sanieren" in this medical context.
Do you think the suggestion is correct?
Thanks!

I would recommend "treat" for "sanieren" which is primarily what you're asking.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : I think this must be the meaning. It sounds like a contradiction in terms, since "saniert" implies an improvement, but there was none.

previously treated

During the course of the examination, sinusitis was found, which had been previously surgically treated without leading to an improvement.

The way I read it, the examination revealed a previous, unsuccessful operation.
