Abdominal Exploration
Alternate Names : Exploratory Laparotomy, Exploratory Laparoscopy
What happens right after the procedure?
After the operation is over, the person will be taken to the recovery room. It is common for the individual to feel nauseated. There may be discomfort from the incision. Pain is usually greater after a laparotomy. The doctor will prescribe medicines to reduce the nausea and discomfort. After the anesthesia has worn off, the person will return to his or her hospital room to recover. With a laparoscopy, the person can sometimes go home on the same day as the procedure.
