Q

why is there a risk of severing intercostal and subcostal nerves during a pfannenstiel incision

A

because these nerves (intercostal and subcostal nerves) pierce the posterior sheath, rectus muscle and then anterior sheath to reach the skin.

they may be severed dat the point in which the overlying anterior rectus sheath is separated from the rectus muscle
