Rutherford-Morison incision: similar with the Gridiron incision but the surgeon extends the incision into an oblique and curvilinear orientation, facilitating access to the ascending colon and sigmoid; also used for kidney transplantation.
Why is it called Grid Iron incision?
A McBurney is a called a ‘gridiron’ incision, because it consists of two perpendicular lines, splitting the fibers of the muscles without cutting them – this allows for excellent healing.
When is Pfannenstiel incision used?
A Pfannenstiel incision is commonly performed for routine primary or repeat cesarean delivery or may be used for nonobstetric abdominal hysterectomy.
Why is an incision called a grid iron incision?
A gridiron incision is a muscle-splitting incision. It is always desirable to part the fibres of a muscle to go through rather than cut across the fibres, but it gets complicated in the abdominal wall where the layers of muscle run in different directions. Thereof, why is grid iron incision called grid iron?
Where is the McBurney grid iron incision made?
McBurney grid iron (muscle splitting)incision İncision of choice most appendicectomies The level and lenght of incision will vary according to thickness of abd. wall and suspected position of apendix. 22. is made at the junction of middle third and outer third of a line running from umblicus to anterior superior iliac spine,McBurney point.
How is the gridiron incision different from the Lanz incision?
They involve passing through all of the abdominal muscles, transversalis fascia, and then the peritoneum, before entering the abdominal cavity. The Lanz incision is a transverse incision, whilst the Gridiron incision is oblique (superolateral to inferomedial).
What are the disadvantages of the gridiron incision?
Like the paramedian approach, the pararectal incision has now largely been abandoned. Disadvantages include disruption of the innervation to the rectus lying medially. A gridiron incision involves an arcing incision through the skin, subcutaneous fat and fascia, external and internal obliques, transversus abdominis and transversalis fascia.
