  2. Buccal space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_space

    It is usually treated by surgical incision and drainage, and the incision is located inside the mouth to avoid a scar on the face. [2] The incision are placed below the parotid papilla to avoid damage to the duct, and forceps are used to divide buccinator and insert a surgical drain into the buccal space. The drain is kept in place for a ...

  3. Chest reconstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_reconstruction

    A transverse inframammary incision with free nipple areolar grafts may be one approach. If there is too much blousing of the skin, the alternatives are to extend the incision laterally (chasing a dog ear) or to make a vertical midline incision (inverted T).

  4. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoscopic_carpal_tunnel...

    The primary benefit of endoscopic releases versus traditional open carpal tunnel release is often perceived to be the smaller incision size. ECTR incisions are commonly less than 1 cm (0.39 in) compared to a 2–4 in (51–102 mm) longitudinal incision with a traditional carpal tunnel release. However, the incision size is not the only factor ...

  5. Surgical incision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_incision

    Pfannenstiel incision, Kerr incision, or Pfannenstiel-Kerr [2] incision is the lower transverse incision made in the lower segment of uterus below the umbilicus and just above the pubic symphysis. [3] [4] It is commonly used in Caesarian section [5] and for abdominal hysterectomy for benign disease.

  6. Carpal tunnel surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_tunnel_surgery

    The length of the skin incision varies but typically is <4 cm. The subcutaneous tissue, the superficial palmar fascia, and the muscle of the palmaris brevis (if present) are also incised in line with the incision, thereby exposing the TCL. [17] With the incision of the transverse carpal ligament [18] [19] longitudinally, the median nerve is ...

  7. Hysterotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterotomy

    A midline incision may be preferred as well when the fetus lies transversely across the patient's uterus or if the placenta lies in the area where the low transverse incision is made. In practice, however, the midline incision is rarely used. [3] Other hysterotomy incisions include a high transverse incision and a fundal incision. [2]

  8. Laparotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparotomy

    Pfannenstiel incision, a transverse incision below the umbilicus and just above the pubic symphysis. [5] [6] In the classic Pfannenstiel incision, the skin and subcutaneous tissue are incised transversally, but the linea alba is opened vertically. It is the incision of choice for Cesarean section and for abdominal hysterectomy for

  9. Le Fort fracture of skull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Fort_fracture_of_skull

    The Le Fort III fracture (transverse fracture) occurs at the level of the skull base, resulting in complete craniofacial separation of the midface from the base of the skull. [2] [3] The fracture line extends through the zygomatic arch, the pterygoid plates, the lateral and medial orbital walls, the nasal bones, and the nasal septum.
