Transverse incision unless there is a contraindication. Less pain, fewer dshiscences, faster recovery all still hold. Some oncologists use a transverse incision (Maylard) for ovarian staging procedures. Depends on how they were trained. -----Original Message----- From: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. [mailto:garrys@mindspring.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 9:57 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Incision I saw a patient today who had a low midline laparotomy scar from prior surgery, and subsequently underwent a C/S via a transverse skin incision. I was brought up to always use the existing incision when possible (of course, don't use a low transverse skin incision for a gyn cancer case). What do others do when, for instance, when faced with doing a C/S in a patient with a prior low midline incision? Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
