[New method of abdominal wall incision in autopsy]

The incision of the anterior abdominal wall proposed by the author is begun (after dissection of thoracic tissues on the median line) from processus xyphoideus sterni and led toward left regio iliacae (on the straight line or first on the left regio hypogastricae to its middle, then on liniae pararectalis) approximately till the middle of ligamentum Pouparti. Then from the lower end of this incision a transversal incision of superpubica is made at an angle, about 4--6 cm above simphysis ossium pubis, in adults 15--20 cm long. This incision provides a wide access to the organs of the small pelvis, demonstration of their changes on the spot, goes aside from median wounds or scars, and permits to penetrate from the transversal incision along the subcutaneous cellular tissue to the organs and tissues of regio subpubica.
