Typically a Y incision is used. This is where an incision starting at each shoulder goes diagonally to the sternum and down to the abdomen. It's so named since the incision appears as a Y on the body, enabling a better view of all thoracic and abdominal contents.
Circumcision always requires an incision as it is a surgical removal of part of the skin of the penis. The type of incision used depends on the surgical technique being used.
One type of autopsy is a forensic autopsy (or post-mortem examination), which is typically conducted by a medical examiner or a coroner. It is for investigations purposes. The other type is a medical/clinical autopsy, conducted by medical professionals for determining a cause of death or other medical matters.
Autopsy after death is a way to precisely determine a cause of death.
It is used in autopsy as a method of opening a human corpse without damaging the organs. It is often referred to as step 2 after physical examination of the freshly slain corpse. If you are lucky, you can dig someone up and try this on them :)
Mcburney's incision is no longer been used for Appendectomy. For cosmetic reason a transverse bikini line incision is now used for appendectomy
This is called a pfannensteil incision usually used for gynaecological operations
Midline incision with a #10 blade mounted on a #3 knife handle.
Y-Cream... hence the Y--meaning the Y incision made during autopsy.... might be the slang term... however.... that is what it is called.... It's Vics VapoRub. A dab of it is placed on the upper lip just under the nose to block out any foul smells. But most medical examiners who do autopsies are used to all the smells and are not bothered too much by them.
Right subcostal/Kocher
The what? There is no surgical technique with that name.
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.
Sterile packing material is the most commonly used medical device to promote healing from inside an incision.
