Just For Sharing : McBurney's Incision for Appendicectomy

*Sorry this picture's quality is not so good =(

HOW TO DRAW THE INCISION?

1. Draw a single line from UMBILICUS to the RIGHT ANT.SUP. ILIAC SPINE

2. Divide this line (blue in colour) into 3 parts equally.

3. Then, at the point of INFERIOR 1/3 of this line, draw a single line (red in colour) perpendicularly to the blue line.

4. This red line is the McBurney incision line for Appendicectomy.

5. The length of this incision line MUST be 1/3 superior and 2/3 inferior to the blue line that you drew.

6. One more important thing is, this incision line should be PARALLEL to the INGUINAL LIGAMENT!


That's all. Good luck! Tawakkal alaAllah. =)
