  2. Laparoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopy

    Coagulation disorders and dense adhesions (scar tissue) from previous abdominal surgery may pose added risk for laparoscopic surgery and are considered relative contra-indications for this approach. Intra-abdominal adhesion formation is a risk associated with both laparoscopic and open surgery and remains a significant, unresolved problem. [33]

  3. Exploratory laparotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploratory_laparotomy

    In trauma exploratory laparotomy, any immediate, life-threatening bleeding is first identified and controlled. In these cases, sponges are often packed in the spaces around the liver and the spleen to slow bleeding until a source can be found. This allows the surgeon to focus on one area at a time by removing the sponges from that quadrant. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strictureplasty

    Strictureplasty (also spelled Stricturoplasty) is a surgical procedure performed to alleviate bowel narrowing due to scar tissue that has built up in the intestinal wall from inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn's disease. The scar tissue accumulates as a result of repeated damage and healing, with the scarring causing a stricture (a ...

    SPL is accomplished through a single 20 mm incision in the navel (umbilicus or belly button), [1] or through only an 11 mm incision in the navel, [2] minimizing the scarring and incisional pain associated with the multiple points of entry used during traditional laparoscopic surgery.

  8. Diaphragmatic rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragmatic_rupture

    Most of the time, the injury is repaired during laparotomy. [9] Early surgery is important, as diaphragmatic atrophy and adhesions occur over time. Sutures are used in the repair. [12] Other injuries, such as hemothorax, may present a more immediate threat and may need to be treated first if they accompany diaphragmatic rupture. [6]

  9. Damage control surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damage_control_surgery

    The data that have been published regarding definitive laparotomy versus damage control surgery demonstrate a decrease in mortality when performed in the critically ill patient. [ 21 ] [ 6 ] Subsequent studies by Rotondo and colleagues in a group of 961 patients that had undergone damage control surgery demonstrate an overall mortality of 50% ...
