About Laparotomy Surgery
A laparotomy is a major surgical procedure in which a surgeon makes an incision in the abdominal wall to access the internal organs. It is performed for diagnosis, treatment of abdominal injuries, or removal of tumors, blockages, or infections.

Whether it's for intestinal obstruction, bowel perforation, ectopic pregnancy, or abdominal trauma, our team ensures the highest standards of surgical and post-operative care.

What is Laparotomy?
Laparotomy is an open abdominal surgery that allows direct access to the internal organs like intestines, stomach, liver, or reproductive organs. It is often performed when imaging tests are inconclusive or when quick intervention is required.
Common reasons for laparotomy include:
-
Intestinal blockage or obstruction
-
Internal bleeding or abdominal trauma
-
Ruptured ectopic pregnancy
-
Bowel perforation
-
Abdominal tumors or abscesses
-
Peritonitis (infection of the abdominal lining)
Unlike laparoscopy, which is minimally invasive, laparotomy allows the surgeon to fully inspect and treat abdominal conditions in real time.
Who Needs a Laparotomy?
You may require a laparotomy if you have:
-
Severe abdominal pain with no clear diagnosis
-
Blunt or penetrating abdominal injury
-
Signs of internal bleeding
-
Suspected abdominal mass or growth
-
Obstruction or perforation of the bowel
-
Ectopic pregnancy rupture
-
Post-operative complications requiring re-exploration
Our emergency surgery team is available 24x7 for life-threatening situations.
