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 proximal femoral region. c.
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.
