A member asked:

Where is the location of an appendectomy scar?

Dr. Herman Hammerstead answered

Specializes in Trauma Surgery

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
