a thoracotomy? The current procedure involves an exploration of the abdomen accessed
through a ___ transverse incision - Answer surgical incision into the thorax or chest cavity;
supraumbilical
During the thoracotomy, a large amount of chylous ascites was found flowing across the

patient. What is the definition of distal? What is the recommendation for this patient? - Answer
