What is Exploratory Laparotomy: Indications & Techniques about?
An exploratory laparotomy is a surgical procedure where the abdomen is opened to examine the internal organs and determine the cause of abdominal symptoms that cannot be identified otherwise. It may be used to diagnose conditions like peritonitis, intestinal obstruction, or intra-abdominal collections. It is also used for abdominal trauma to identify any injuries.
