A member asked:

Will the doctor perform an abdominal hysterectomy using my c-section incision?

Dr. Nikolaos Zacharias answered

Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Usually yes.: Ask your doctor - but the general answer is yes, in non-obstetrical cases (i.e. Gynecological indications for hysterectomy years later). If your hysterectomy is immediately after a cesarean section then the optimal skin incision is midline vertical.
