Introduction
In general, abdominal surgery involves the following procedural steps: selecting and marking the surgical incision site, making the skin incision, removing the diseased tissue, placing a drainage tube, and closing the incision. The incision site—such as in the upper, middle, or lower abdomen—is selected and marked accordingly. The surgical area is then disinfected, and sterile drapes are applied.
Generally, abdominal surgery, commonly known as open abdominal operation, involves several standard procedural steps including selecting the incision site, cutting through the skin, removing the diseased tissue, placing a drainage tube, and closing the incision. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Determine and mark the desired surgical incision site, such as in the upper, middle, or lower abdomen.
2. Disinfect the surgical area and cover it with sterile drapes.
3. Use a scalpel to cut through the skin, exposing the fat layer, then use an electrocautery device to further dissect the subcutaneous tissue.
4. Remove the diseased tissue, taking care to protect nerves and blood vessels during the procedure; ligate and suture blood vessels when necessary.
5. Place a drainage tube in the surgical area to prevent fluid leakage.
6. Close the incision layer by layer from the peritoneum up to the skin. After routine disinfection, apply a sterile dressing.
To minimize harm to the body during abdominal surgery, it is recommended that the procedure be performed under the guidance of a qualified physician. Postoperatively, adequate rest is important. Maintain healthy lifestyle habits and avoid spicy or irritating foods to promote proper recovery.
