Laparotomy

05/01/1992 - "Nonetheless, biological analyses of the tumor may prove in the future to be necessary for determining whether or not laparotomy is the best treatment."
02/01/1988 - "As determined by a careful second-look laparotomy in patients with complete clinical remission the DD marker was highly predictive of tumors less than 1 cm. The negative predictive value (82%) was higher than the positive predictive value (69%). "
01/01/1984 - "The best results were obtained by application of X-ray contrast clips (type K-45) superimposed on tumor during laparotomy. "
01/01/2003 - "When small bowel obstruction does not show improvement with conservative treatment, and if the possibility of peritoneal cancer recurrence is excluded by thorough examinations, it is important to perform laparotomy early to resolve the symptoms of bowel obstruction and restore the patient's quality of life."
12/01/1998 - "SRS also had 3 important false-positive results, including 1 patient who had laparotomy with no tumor identified. "

12/01/1987 - "While most reported series classify lavage results as true-positive when intraperitoneal blood is found at exploration, even if secondary to trivial injuries which do not require surgical therapy (nontherapeutic laparotomy), we believe that these should be classified as false-positive results, as was done in this study. "
06/01/2012 - "Mandatory laparotomy has been replaced by an acceptance that for most blunt hepatic trauma, a selective non-operative approach is safe and effective with a failure rate ie the need to proceed to delayed laparotomy of approximately 10%. "
03/01/2002 - "The need for splenectomy was most significantly correlated with higher grades of splenic injury especially grades IV and V. The evolution in management of blunt splenic trauma has led to a significant improvement in splenic preservation and avoidance of laparotomy for many patients. "
02/01/1999 - "Safe and effective treatment of GI tract injuries is compatible with nonoperative management of most other injuries associated with blunt abdominal trauma in children, while reducing the risk of nontherapeutic laparotomy."
01/01/2006 - "We hypothesize that diagnostic laparoscopy provides important information for the treatment of children with abdominal trauma and is accompanied by improved diagnostic accuracy, reduction of nontherapeutic laparotomy rates, and a reduction of morbidity. "

07/01/1997 - "Laparoscopy represents a safe and effective diagnostic procedure in the preoperative staging of esophageal and cardia carcinoma; it provides the potential to avoid unnecessary exploratory laparotomies and to select the most appropriate treatment."
09/01/2005 - "Other factors associated with reduced risk of relapse and death were complete pathologic remission at second-look laparotomy and family history of breast and ovarian carcinoma, respectively. "
09/01/2004 - "Of 96 histologically confirmed stage II-IV epithelial ovarian carcinoma patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery followed by high-dose, platin-based chemotherapy, 57 were in complete clinical remission at the end of therapy and 50 underwent a second-look laparotomy. "
07/01/1995 - "As long as preoperative staging systems are not improved (which may be in the future the case with endosonography), all operable patients with gastric carcinoma should undergo a laparotomy or laparoscopy, because only intraoperative evaluation of the surgeon allows a decision on a possible curative resection. "
01/01/1991 - "Between January 1980 and December 1990, 107 ovarian carcinoma patients in clinical complete remission were submitted to a second-look laparotomy at our department. "

12/01/2009 - "Robotic surgery dramatically altered our management of endometrial cancer and was associated with a significant improvement in several perioperative outcomes when compared to laparotomy and laparoscopy."
12/01/2014 - "Laparoscopy is a safe alternative to laparotomy for low risk endometrial cancer patients and offers markedly improved perioperative outcomes with a lower reoperation rate and fewer postoperative complications when the standard of care shifts from open surgery to laparoscopy in a university hospital."
09/01/2011 - "Laparoscopic hysterectomy is preferred over laparotomy in early endometrial cancer patients, however not cost effective in the very obese."
07/01/2015 - "The aim of this study was to compare the long-term safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy for high-risk endometrial cancer (EC).A retrospective analysis based on our decade of clinical data of patients with high-risk EC who were comprehensively surgically staged by laparotomy or laparoscopy was performed. "
07/01/2013 - "We conclude that, compared with laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery seems to be beneficial in women with endometrial cancer, in particular insofar as postoperative complications and length of hospital stay. "

03/01/2013 - "RF ablation system combined with traditional techniques was effective in controlling liver bleeding during laparotomy in both cases. "
11/07/1998 - "An effective and safe first treatment of an unstable patient with haemoperitoneum is laparotomy and staunching of the bleeding by gauze tamponade. "
01/01/1990 - "Tc-99m RBC abdominal scanning was very useful in this case for localization of the site of gastrointestinal bleeding before laparotomy."
07/01/2014 - "Interventional radiology is less invasive compared with laparotomy, and may be considered as the first-line treatment for delayed arterial hemorrhage in pancreaticoduodenectomy patients."
12/01/2008 - "To assess the safety and short-term efficacy of bilateral uterine artery ligation (UAL) via minilaparotomy for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). "
