What are the common abdominal incision?
Disregarding laparoscopic entry here... Obviously, the incision depends on what surgery will follow ^_^ For appendectomy for example, the most used incision will be the McBurney one, cutting in the right fossa over the McBurney point, going from superolateral to inferomedial, about 3-4 cm. There are some general incisions, such as the paramedian (a bit more to the left/right from the middle, vertically) and median (right in the middle, vertically) incision. When there is an emergency (acute abdomen), the most used incision will be a full laparotomy, which is a median vertical incision, from the proc xyphoideus (bottom of sternum) to the pubis. The caesarian incision is one of the few horizontal ones, right above the pubis. For kidney transplants, a curved incision is used, paramedian.
