Which is better for an abdominal hysterectomy - a horizontal or a vertical incision?

Hysterectomy oopherectomy for cervical, endometrial, uterine...
Georgia P., Massachusetts, USA: Speaking from an endometrial cancer point of view, a vertical incision is usually the most often used, in order to enable the surgeon to view the entire abdominal area and "stage" the cancer. Since endometrial cancer can invade the walls of the uterus, spreading to other organs, there is a need to inspect the organs in the entire pelvic and abdominal area, sample the lymph nodes and fluids, and manually inspect the intestines and bowels.

Which is better, a vertical or horizontal mounting?

Foxboro | Products | FAQ Conductivity
The measurement principle of an EC sensor allows it to function in any mounting attitude. It operates equally as well in a vertical orientation as horizontal. It will even operate vertically with cable end down. However, installation in a vertical pipe (sensor horizontal) with flow moving from the bottom to the top of the pipe will guarantee a fully wetted sensor. Thus, this is the preferred orientation.

Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. The Suborbital Institute includes members who are pursuing both types of vehicle designs. There is no inherent reason that rocket engines cannot eventually become as reliable and safe as turbojets. It was initially believed that turbojets were inherently dangerous: large rotating pieces of machinery, temperatures in the combustors above the melting point of metal, operation in uncontrolled environments, millions of moving parts, etc.

Which is better - horizontal or vertical read slot?

ASP Microcomputers - Barcoded Cards for ClassNet and ZipNet
There are arguments for either orientation. The horizontal slot is often used as a simple indicator of direction. For instance if a ZipNet Terminal was located on the right side of the entrance to a business, employees coming in to work might scan right to left to indicate they are clocking in, and vice versa when they leave at the end of the day. Some take the view that vertical swiping is easier. The choice is yours, but must be made when you order.
