Laparotomy Median Central

Laparotomy (from ancient Greek λαπάρτη - womb and τομή - incision, dissection) is a surgical operation to open the abdominal cavity through the walls of the patient’s abdomen. Laparotomy access is an incision in the anterior abdominal wall or its lateral sections to penetrate the abdominal cavity. At the first stage of the operation, a transverse incision is made along the midline, and then it is expanded by successive cuts towards the midline. Due to a certain risk of complications, laparoscopic surgery is prescribed for a small part of cases.

**Laparotomy** has its advantages over laparoscopy: - the ability to perform several operations at once; - removal of exudate from the abdominal cavity; - accessible area for manipulation by the surgeon’s hand.
