What is an "incision"?
An incision is a cut made in the body during a surgical procedure. It is typically made with a surgical blade or scalpel to access the area where surgery is performed. Incisions can vary in size and location depending on the type of surgery and the specific medical needs of the patient. After the surgery is completed, the incision is usually closed with stitches, staples, or adhesive strips to help healing. Taking proper care of the incision is crucial to prevent infection and promote recovery after surgery.
