Described in this paper is a modified method to open the abdominal wall for gynaecological operations, and it is compared for postoperative formation of haematoma with the two most common conventional methods. The modified method and lower median incision so far have been performed on a comparatively small group of patients, when compared to Pfannenstiel's incision. Therefore, no unambiguous conclusion can be drawn as yet. The validity of the method should be confirmed by a larger number of operations. The method should be tried by more hospitals to enable large-scale comparison with other techniques.
