What does a kocher incision give access to?

A Kocher incision, typically made along the right side of the abdomen, provides access to the gallbladder and structures in the upper right quadrant, including the liver, duodenum, and pancreas. It is commonly used in surgeries such as cholecystectomy for gallbladder removal. This incision allows surgeons to visualize and manipulate these organs effectively while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
