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 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.
The success rate for vaginal birth after cesarean section in patients who have had a prior low transverse uterine incision is approximately 70%.
The first incision opens the abdomen, usually horizontal across and above the pubic bone. The second transverse incision opens the uterus. The amniotic sac is ruptured and the baby delivered.
