A laparotomy is a surgical procedure in which the surgeon makes an incision through the abdominal wall in order to reach the abdominal cavity. This form of surgery is generally exploratory in nature and the incision is generally a large one. Doctors tend to recommend a laparotomy in instances when clinical diagnostic methods are insufficient to provide information about the causes of acute abdominal pain in a patient. In such cases, it generally confirms the diagnosis. It is also done in cases when the patient has a malignant tumor in the abdomen. A laparotomy is also generally required when the patient has suffered a wound to the abdominal area. Sometimes, a surgeon might conduct a laparotomy in order to offer specific treatment to the patient.
