It means that a 2.5 cm cut was made just above the belly button and the cut was made in a straight line across.

The incision is being made in the epigastric region.epi- means "above".gastr- means "stomach".-ic means "pertaining to".
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.
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.
Transverse incision is also known as a horizontal or crosswise incision. It is made across the fibers of a muscle or tissue, typically in a direction parallel to the ground.
Mcburney's incision is no longer been used for Appendectomy. For cosmetic reason a transverse bikini line incision is now used for appendectomy
A low transverse incision refers to a surgical cut made horizontally across the lower part of the abdomen, typically performed during procedures such as a cesarean section. This type of incision is preferred due to reduced risk of complications and better healing compared to other types of incisions.
A low transverse cesarean section (c-section) without extension refers to a surgical procedure where the incision is made horizontally across the lower part of the uterus. This type of incision is preferred due to its lower risk of complications and faster recovery compared to vertical incisions. "Without extension" means that the incision does not extend beyond the original horizontal cut, minimizing tissue disruption and promoting better healing. This approach is commonly used in planned cesarean deliveries and in many emergency situations.
An Auvray incision is a surgical technique used primarily in the context of thyroid surgery. It involves a transverse incision made in the anterior neck, typically along the skin folds, to minimize scarring and improve cosmetic outcomes. This approach allows for better access to the thyroid gland while aiming to reduce trauma to surrounding tissues. The Auvray incision is particularly noted for its aesthetic advantages compared to traditional vertical incisions.
No, the primary low transverse cesarean section and primary classical cesarean section are not the same. A low transverse cesarean section involves a horizontal incision made in the lower part of the uterus, which is more common and associated with fewer complications for future pregnancies. In contrast, a classical cesarean section involves a vertical incision in the upper part of the uterus, which can increase the risk of complications in subsequent pregnancies. Each type has specific indications and implications for maternal and fetal health.
The surgeon made an incision in the patient's abdomen.
This may hurt a bit; I'm going to make a small incision in the back of your hand.
