A transverse cut through the umbilical region would primarily damage the peritoneum, which is the serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering most of the abdominal organs. Additionally, depending on the depth of the cut, it may also affect the underlying visceral and parietal peritoneum.
If the cut were deep enough, it could potentially involve other structures and membranes in the region, such as the fascia, abdominal muscles, and any associated ligaments, but the primary membranes impacted would be the peritoneal membranes.
