You are reading a surgeon’s operative report.  During the course of surgery, she made several incisions.  Your job is to read her operative report and determine where the incisions were made.  Draw and label the incision on the figure below. The first incision was in the right anterior sternal region, 3 centimeters inferior to the cervical region.  The cut extended vertically in an inferior direction, ending 2 centimeters superior to the umbilical region. The second incision began in the left anterior, lateral inguinal region and extended horizontally in a medial direction for 4 centimeters to the pubic region. At the pubic region, the cut turned and extended vertically in a distal direction for 4 centimeters and ended in the femoral region. The third incision was made in the left posterior, lateral femoral region, 2 centimeters proximal to the popliteal region. The cut extended in a distal direction to 2 centimeters proximal to the tarsal region.
