Subject: low or lower transverse incision

Cesarean section was performed with a low transverse incision ... it's hard to hear if the Dr. is saying "low" or lower" transverse incision .. would it matter which one it is or should it be one over the other? thanks for help.

Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.
Subject: Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.

So, depending on what the doc says, the spinous process of C5 would be correct. Also, the spinous processes of the cervical spine would be a correct statement. Spinous process of the cervical spine would be incorrect as there are 7 cervical vertebral bodies with 3 processes each.

I'm doing a report dictated by a urologist, and he's doing a cystocele repair and urethrocele repair with Prolift and secure (or this could be Secur, as in the TVT Secur by Gynecare, but I don't know that for sure) synthetic graft. Anyway, he says a deep s/l European incision was then made over the vagina over the bladder area.

I've never heard of a European incision and can't document it in my search efforts thus far. I've checked my books and online references and am still looking......
