open repair

Open repair is a surgical procedure where a doctor makes a large incision to access and fix a problem inside the body. This approach allows the surgeon to directly see and work on organs or tissues, making it suitable for complex cases or when minimally invasive methods aren’t possible. Commonly used for repairing arteries, hernias, or damaged organs, open repair provides clear visibility and control but typically involves a longer recovery time compared to less invasive techniques. It is performed under anesthesia and requires careful postoperative care to ensure proper healing.
