Latin term or phrase: reg
This is from a line about a diagnosis. The matter is some tear in abdominal wall which is expressed in abbreviations mostly. The context reads ....reg parietis abdom. lat. sin.
I take the full wording would be reg parietis abdominis and so on. But what would you do about "reg"? Thank you.

Here, "boundary"or "edge" (followed by a noun in the genetive case, "of the abdominal wall ...").
