Gynecology: Open Surgery
Laparotomy – Miami, FL
Open surgery, also called laparotomy, refers to any surgical procedure in which a large cut/incision is made to reach your organs. The incision must be large enough for your surgeon to fit his or her hands and surgical instruments inside your body.
Gynecologic Surgery Incision
With gynecologic surgery, the incision can be horizontal or vertical. The horizontal incision is usually about an inch above the pubic bone. This type of incision is also known as a “bikini” incision. This is the most common type of incision to perform during a C-section.
Gynecological Open Surgery
Open surgery is used successfully worldwide for many gynecologic conditions. However, there are some drawbacks for patients due to the large abdominal incision.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
There are minimally invasive surgical options for women facing complex gynecologic conditions.
