Emergency Laparotomy

Emergency laparotomy is a surgical procedure in which a large incision is made in the abdomen to explore and treat urgent medical issues. This surgery is often performed when a person experiences severe abdominal pain that could be caused by problems such as internal bleeding, organ damage, or infections. The goal is to quickly identify the cause and provide necessary treatment to prevent serious complications or save the patient's life. It’s typically done in hospitals, often in emergency situations, to address conditions that cannot be managed with less invasive methods.
