Open Procedures

Open procedures, also known as open surgeries, are surgical procedures that involve making a large incision in the body to access the area that requires treatment. Unlike laparoscopic surgery, open procedures involve opening up the body to perform the surgery.

Open procedures can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and gastrointestinal disorders. Examples of open procedures include open heart surgery, open abdominal surgery, and open thoracic surgery.
