McBurney was an Irish American medical pioneer famous in
his field for his early reports about appendicitis.
If you've ever known anyone who had their appendix
removed, the doctor diagnosing it would have first
identified the point of greatest abdominal pain. That point
is called McBurney’s point and the cut they make to get the
appendix out is called McBurney’s incision.
