Incisional Surgery

Incisional surgery involves making a precise cut (incision) through the skin and underlying tissues to access, repair, or remove internal organs. Surgeons utilize this method across various medical specialties—such as general surgery, gynecology, and ophthalmology—to safely perform complex procedures like exploratory laparotomies or organ resections.

How It Works

During the procedure, the surgeon makes a clean incision using specialized instruments to minimize tissue damage and ensure smooth healing.

Once the internal repair is complete, the surgical wound is closed with sutures, staples, or
surgical adhesives and covered with a sterile dressing.

Types of Incisions

The size, length, and shape of an incision depend on the specific procedure being performed

Minimally Invasive

Smaller, keyhole-sized cuts designed to allow specialized
camera scopes and tiny instruments into the body.

Open Surgery

Longer incisions that provide maximum visibility and physical
access to the affected organs or tissues.

Aftercare and Recovery

Keep the incision site clean and dry.
Follow all medical instructions regarding pain management and wound dressing changes.
Avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting until cleared by a physician
