Is it better to have a transverse incision or a vertical incision during a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, a transverse incision is chosen because it has less tension, better healing, and less noticeable postoperative scars. These advantages make it the preferred option. However, if the patient has undergone previous surgery with a vertical incision, then the current surgery will also require a vertical incision.
