The Decision About The Incision: Is Midline Or Transverse Better For Abdominal Surgery?
An unusual study examined for the first time whether the incision technique used in major abdominal surgery had an effect on the results. The study of 200 patients showed that pain perception and the healing process were unrelated to the technique used to open the abdominal cavity. Complications were also just as frequent, except for wound infections, which were more frequent for transverse incisions, possibly due to circulatory problems.
