Microlaparotomy

Microlaparotomy is a surgical intervention that is performed for the purpose of diagnosing and treating various diseases of the abdominal cavity. This method differs from conventional laparotomy in that it allows operations on the abdominal organs through small incisions.

Microlaparotomy is one of the most common surgical treatment methods in modern medicine. It allows the surgeon to gain access to the abdominal organs without the need to make a large incision in the abdomen, which reduces the risk of complications and speeds up the patient's recovery process.

One of the main advantages of microlaparotomy is its accuracy. The surgeon can more accurately determine the location of the organs and perform the operation with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. This avoids complications such as bleeding, infection or scarring.

In addition, microlaparotomy has a lower risk of postoperative complications than conventional laparotomy, since it does not require a large incision in the abdomen. This is especially important for patients with obesity or other problems that may make routine surgery difficult.

However, microlaparotomy should only be performed by qualified surgeons who have experience with this method. Also, before the operation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient to ensure that there are no contraindications.

In general, microlaparotomy is an effective and safe method of surgical treatment, which allows operations to be performed with minimal risk of complications and rapid recovery after surgery.

Microlaparotomy (from Latin micro - small and Greek λαπάρος - womb (peritoneum)) is a type of surgical operation consisting of making small incisions in the abdominal wall in order to expose internal organs or monitor the condition of tissues and areas from the inside during surgical operations. More and more specialists are inclined to believe that laparoscopy is a higher priority method of surgical treatment. For example, open abdominal surgeries previously accounted for at least 25% of surgeries performed on patients with gynecological diseases. In large developed countries, the share of these operations was only 5–6%.

When the use of soft trocars during operations on the abdominal wall began to be actively introduced several decades ago, specialists began to combine the abdominal cavity with the abdominal wall. And with the advent of such instruments as a resectoscope and colopexy, both organs in some cases could be treated using endoscopic equipment.

This method has the following advantages: ➕least injuries to internal organs;

➕lack of scars and other post-operative injuries to the patient;

minimum stay in the hospital under the supervision of doctors - one to two days; significant reduction in the risk of complications.

Due to the few reasons for using laparoscopic assistance, such a procedure is used only in some cases: or treatment of diseases of the peritoneum using specialized medications (for example, intranasal drugs, antibiotics, suspensions, aerosols). If the reason for the patient’s visit to a medical facility was acute appendicitis, a growth on the ovary, problems with the intrauterine system, or inflammation of the fallopian tubes, women are offered emergency surgery.
