Explanation

"Transverse fashion" in medicine refers to the direction or orientation of something. It's like imagining a line that cuts across your body from one side to the other, like a belt. When something is done or occurs in a transverse fashion, it means it's happening in a way that goes from one side of the body to the other, rather than from top to bottom or front to back. This term is often used to describe the position of a baby in the womb, surgical incisions, or the spread of a disease.
