A Pfannenstiel incision would most likely be used for a hysterectomy. This type of incision is done low on the abdomen and is good for cosmetic purposes. It is cut just above the symphysis pubis and often used for surgeries of the uterus, ovaries or prostate. The Pfannenstiel incision may also be referred to as a bikini cut.
