The cut is made with a pair of special scissors or a scalpel and there are two different types of incision that can be done:done vertically. A midline incision is easier to recover from, but there is a higher risk of extending into the anal area which can in some cases lead to faecal incontinence.this is done at an angle and offers the best protection from an extended tear to the anal area. This kind of incision is often more painful and is more difficult to recover from.
