Aftercare - Abdominal Exploration

The outcome of your surgery varies with the development of the disease itself, as does the course and duration of your recovery. Exploratory laparotomy is commonly performed for injuries, severe abdominal pain from unknown causes, intestinal obstruction, inflammatory diseases such as appendicitis and diverticulitis, and cancer of any of the abdominal organs.
