Transverse laparotomy Transverse laparotomy Cross lapractotomy, ectromie (from ancient Greek λᾰπάρον - cut and τομή - dissection, cutting; lat. tersus, partum - transverse, cut), or torsatomy, diaphragm al incision, - laparotomy incision in the lower abdomen on the right from the midline opposite the III or IV lumbar vertebra between the anterior superior iliac spine and the crest of the iliac crest through the external oblique muscle, transversalis fascia to the wall of the rectus sheath to the transversalis fascia.
To carry out this operation, you must perform the following steps: 1. The first step is to numb the area of the intended incision. Local anesthetics and anesthesia are used. 2. An incision is made. The length of the wound should be about 15 cm, depth 2.5 cm. The duration of each stage of the operation ranges from 1 to 3 hours. 3. The abdominal cavity is opened, all organs and tissues are separated from the internal walls, moving the intestines and bladder away during manipulation. After this, the surgeon assesses the condition of the abdominal organs. 4. Through the resulting opening, the inflamed organ is removed and the necessary manipulations are carried out to treat it. Then the doctor, if necessary, transplants the rectum or connects the torn sections of the intestine, even parts of the intestine. 5. With laparotomy access, ligation of the abdominal aorta is performed. If it is not blocked, this is fraught with serious consequences. 6. The final stage is the treatment of sutures, which after healing will be barely noticeable, especially thanks to the professional selection of the color of the suture material. Burns will not be noticeable
