Popis: This chapter discusses about the common incisions. They are: 1. Iliac incision: This is used for inguinal hernia operations; 2. Right grid-iron incision: The incision is at McBurney's point and is used for the operation for the removal of the appendix; 3. Right and left upper paramedian incision and upper mid-line incision; 4. Right and left lower paramedian incisions and lower mid-line incision; 5. Transverse elipse incision; 6. Kocher's incision; 7. Sternotomy or sternal incision; 8. Thoraco-abdominal incision; 9. Collar incision; 10. Lumbar incision. There are of course many other incisions allied to the particular surgeries. The theatre nurse will become more familiar with those as she gains more experience. The common incisions above give a guide to the nurse—especially for the draping technique. Incisions can vary with the surgeon or operation.
