The incision is positioned in the lower abdomen and back to remain hidden in the underwear. Previous abdominal and back surgeries may reduce the effect of the surgery. In women, after a cesarean section, the surgical scar can be performed on the existing one. To help drain excess blood and fluid, drainage may be provided.
