A supra-umbilical transverse incision is made just above the umbilicus (navel) and typically crosses the abdomen horizontally. This incision is generally located in the epigastric region, which is the upper central part of the abdomen. It is often used in surgeries involving the stomach, liver, or other upper abdominal organs.
