Explanation

A "stab wound incision" refers to a type of injury that occurs when a sharp or pointed object pierces the skin. This can happen during accidents, fights, or surgical procedures. The wound is usually deep and narrow, and it can damage internal organs if the object penetrates deep enough. It's called an "incision" because the skin is cut or opened, similar to how a surgeon might cut the skin during an operation.
