A laparotomy is a surgical procedure where a large cut is made in the abdomen to access the internal organs. It allows surgeons to directly see and work on organs such as the intestines, liver, or uterus. This procedure is typically used for complex surgeries that require full access to the abdomen, such as removing large tumors, repairing serious injuries, or performing certain types of bowel surgeries. Recovery from a laparotomy generally takes a long time, and it leaves large scars.
