No, an oblique incision is not the same as a transverse incision. An oblique incision is made at an angle to the body's axis, typically used to facilitate access to certain anatomical structures. In contrast, a transverse incision runs horizontally across the body, parallel to the ground. Each type of incision serves different surgical purposes and is chosen based on the specific requirements of the procedure.
