| The linea alba makes its first appearance and replaces the xiphoid process as the anterior midline structure. |
|
| The xiphoid process, also known as the xiphisternum is a small cartilaginous extension to the lower part of the sternum. |
|
| The hernia defect measured 30 × 35 mm, located on 5 mm caudal to the xiphoid process. |
|
| The probe was placed underneath the xiphoid process in a longitudinal position. |
|
| An incision was placed below the right hypochondrium that extended to the left rectus abdominis muscle and xiphoid process. |
|
| This involves a 4 to 5 centimeter midline incision extending over the xiphoid process, starting from a point inferior to the level of the nipples. |
|
| Another 10 mm trocar for the endoscope will be positioned further up halfway between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process. |
|
| In inflammation limited to the duodenal bulb, this point is at the midline or just to the right of the midline, about halfway between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process. |
|
| A 5-mm assistant port was placed caudal and lateral to the xiphoid for liver retraction. |
|
| An ultrasonographic examination was also performed using a cranioventral approach caudal to the xiphoid of the sternum. |
|
| On physical examination, epigastric tenderness is the most frequent finding, usually in the midline and often midway between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process. |
|
| Areas of the boy's midsection from navel to xiphoid process, at the cleft of his ribs, alone required nineteen months of stretching and postural exercises, the more extreme of which must have been very painful indeed. |
|
| In the case of a xiphopagus, there is most commonly only a band-like union in the region of the xiphoid process of the sternum. |
|
| A respiratory pneumobelt was used to record chest wall movement and was placed around the chest at the inferior edge of the sternum near the xiphoid process. |
|
| The abdomen was opened below the xiphoid process, and the pyloric end of the stomach was ligated avoiding any injuries to the adjacent blood vessels. |
