Laparotomy

Laparotomy Surgery in Yeshwanthpur Bangalore

A medical technique involves a surgical incision into the abdominal wall to provide accessibility into the abdominal cavity. A laparotomy is a surgical technique in which a physician makes a single big incision in the abdomen.

Why is the procedure performed?

Doctors use laparotomy to see within the abdominal cavity to detect or treat abdominal health problems.

Doctors may use laparotomy for a variety of reasons. It can aid in the diagnosis or treatment of abdominal disorders such as,

  • abdominal pain

  • abdominal trauma

  • peritonitis, which is an inflammation of the inner lining of the abdomen

  • a perforated organ in the abdomen

  • infection in the abdomen

  • internal bleeding

  • the spread of conditions such as cancer or endometriosis

Types of laparotomy incisions

There are several types of laparotomy incisions, which are detailed below,

  • This incision runs down the abdomen's centre- the most commonly used laparoscopic incision. If a person simply needs upper abdominal surgery, the incision will not run the entire length of the abdomen.

  • A paramedian incision - A vertical incision goes to one side of the midline, enabling surgeons to access the kidneys and adrenal glands.

  • Transverse- A horizontal cut is a transverse incision. Surgeons may prefer this procedure since it causes less injury to the nerves feeding the abdominal muscle and recovers nicely.

  • Pfannenstiel incision- Surgeons may utilise a Pfannenstiel incision to gain access to the pelvic region, such as during an emergency caesarean delivery.

  • Subcostal incisions-These are diagonal cuts across one side of the upper abdomen. A surgeon may use a subcostal incision to access the gallbladder or liver on the right side of the spleen on the left side.

  • Rooftop (chevron) incision- If the surgeon makes a subcostal incision on each side of the body, the incisions may meet in the centre to form a rooftop incision.

After procedure care

Because patients have laparotomy surgery in Yeshwanthpur Bangalore  for various reasons, recovery times might vary significantly between people. Many other factors, such as the individual's age and overall health, will influence how long it takes them to feel better.

  • People can rest and allow their bodies to recover at home 

  • Resting as much as possible for days to weeks, depending on the doctor's recommendation

  • Continuing to move around and do any exercises that a doctor has prescribed

  • Getting other people to help around the house and with daily tasks

  • Adhering to all dietary guidelines from a doctor, taking medication as the doctor prescribes
