During an appendectomy, the surgeon typically makes an incision in the lower right abdomen, which may involve cutting through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and abdominal muscles, including the external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis. However, surgeons aim to minimize muscle damage by using techniques that allow them to separate muscle fibers rather than cutting through them when possible. After surgery, the body generally heals well, and the remaining muscle tissue can compensate for any loss.
