A group of muscles that often gets neglected in stomach exercise routines are the transverse abdominals, the core muscles that lie below the rectus abdominus. Most abdominal exercises target the rectus abdominus and the vertical abdominals, ignoring the transverse abdominals. Even crunches, the staple of most abdominal workouts, do nothing for the transverse abdominals.

Regional anesthesia is most frequently administered to the patient, if their awake. A low transverse (Kerr) or vertical (Krohnig) incision consistent with the estimated size of the fetus is made. The rectus muscles are separated and the peritoneum incised. Hemostasis is certain. The bladder is reflected from the lower uterine segment and the uterus is incised.
