A member asked:
Where is the location of an appendectomy scar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If it is an open appy it is in the RLQ of the abdomine either Straight (Rocky-Davis) or Angled downward (McBurney). If it is Laproscopic then it's usually 3 small incisions. One subumbically, one in the LLQ and another suprapubically
