Abdominal surgery
The term abdominal surgery refers to all surgeries performed on organs and tissues of the abdominal cavity. This is a broad field of surgery with a wide variety of surgical procedures. Moreover, it should be noted that the majority of surgeries performed on the abdominal cavity can be performed either through open surgery or laparoscopic procedures.
The abdominal cavity contains the following organs:
- Stomach;
- Large and small intestine;
- Liver;
- Gall bladder;
- Spleen;
- Pancreas.
It should also be noted that abdominal surgery includes operations on a variety of abdominal neoplasms and hernias formed from organs or within the abdominal cavity. It should be noted that modern surgeons prefer to use a variety of laparoscopic surgeries in order to minimise the risks of postoperative complications.
