Open surgery is a traditional medical procedure where a surgeon makes a large cut through the skin and underlying tissues to access internal organs or structures. This approach allows direct visualization and precise intervention, often used for complex or extensive conditions. While it typically involves a longer recovery time compared to minimally invasive techniques, open surgery provides a clear view and access, enabling the surgeon to address the issue effectively. It is performed in a sterile operating room environment under anesthesia to ensure patient safety and comfort during the procedure.
