WHAT IS EXPLORATORY LAPAROTOMY?

An exploratory laparotomy is a major abdominal operation in which the abdomen is surgically opened to identify and treat serious internal disease or injury.

It is commonly performed when:

  • emergency treatment is required

IT IS OFTEN A DECISION MADE TO SAVE LIFE OR PREVENT ORGAN FAILURE.

COMMON REASONS FOR EMERGENCY LAPAROTOMY

1. INTESTINAL PERFORATION

A hole in the intestine allows intestinal contents to spill inside the abdomen, producing:

  • severe infection
  • pus formation
  • generalized peritonitis

2. INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION

Blockage of the intestine may result from:

  • adhesions
  • hernia
  • tumors
  • volvulus
  • strictures

Delayed treatment can compromise blood supply to bowel tissue.

3. ABDOMINAL TRAUMA

Accidents or blunt injury may damage:

  • liver
  • spleen
  • intestine
  • blood vessels

Internal bleeding may occur even without obvious external wounds.

Will the exact diagnosis always be known before surgery?

Not always. Sometimes the definitive diagnosis becomes clear during exploration.
