Abstract
BACKGROUND: An incision is a cut or slit to gain access to underlying tissue. Surgeons have been in search for ideal methods of skin incisions which will provide quick and adequate exposure with minimal blood loss. Traditionally incisions are made with scalpel. Many techniques have come up recently like electrocautery, laser, plasma scalpel, electron surgical aspirator.
