GlossaryIncisions

precise cuts made into tissues during surgical procedures

Incisions, also known as surgical cuts, are precise cuts made into the skin or other tissues during a surgical procedure. These cuts are typically made using a scalpel or other surgical instruments to access the area of the body that requires treatment. Properly made incisions are crucial for minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and for promoting optimal healing post-surgery.
