The first incision was in the right anterior sternal region, 3 centimeters inferior to the cervical region.  The cut extended vertically in an inferior direction, ending 2 centimeters superior to the umbilical region. 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 femoral region. The third incision was made in the left posterior, lateral femoral region, 2 centimeters proximal to the popliteal region.
