The classic incisions could disrupt the cutaneous blood supply and thus increase the risk of tissue necrosis around the wound, explaining the observed postsurgical complications and infections. We propose to lower the vertical incision to start 2 cm under the inguinal ligament to reduce lesions of the cutaneous arteries and the potential devascularization of the wounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
