Please name the layers of tissue that would be incised for a laparotomy (incision into the abdominal cavity) for an appendectomy: (if you click on the link, find & click "abdominal wall")
*Remember that the appendix is located in the right lower quadrant
My guess is that this would be the order: epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous layer, external abdominal obliques, internal abdominal obliques, transversus abdominis, parietal peritoneum.
If this incision were made closer to the midline, what tissue layer changes would be included?
+ rectus abdominis
+ linea alba
- transversus abdominis
- external obliques
Am I close?
