CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
Exploratory Laporatomy
 Abdominal exploration is a type of surgery where the abdomen is opened
(laparotomy) and explored (exploratory laparotomy) for examination and
treatment of problems.
 This refers to the opening of the abdominal cavity for direct examination of its
contents , for example, to locate a source of bleeding or trauma.
 It may or may not be followed by repair or removal of the primary problem.

CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
Appendectomy
 Surgical opening of the abdominal cavity and removal of the
appendix.
 Typically performed as definitive treatment for appendicitis, although
sometimes the appendix is prophylactically removed incidental to
another abdominal procedure.

PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
Laparoscopy
1.A minimally invasive approach to abdominal surgery where rigid
tubes are inserted through small incisions into the abdominal cavity.
2. The tubes allow introduction of a small camera, surgical
instruments, and gases into the cavity for direct or indirect
visualization and treatment of the abdomen.
3. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to facilitate
visualization and, often, a small video camera is used to
show the procedure on a monitor in the operating room.
5. The laparoscopic method speeds recovery time and reduces
blood loss and infection as compared to the traditional "open"
cholecystectomy.

PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
MIDLINE INCISION
Use: Virtually all abdominal procedures may be performed
through this incision.
Location: In the midline of the abdomen, and can extend from
the xiphoid process to just above the umbilicus.
It can be continued to below the umbilicus by curving the
incision around the umbilicus.
Layers of the abdominal wall:
Skin, fascia , linea alba, transversalis fascia, extraperitoneal fat
and peritoneum.
PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
ADVANTAGES
Adequate exposure of most of the abdominal viscera
Minimal blood loss as the incision is through the linea alba.
Minimal nerve injury.
Minimal muscle injury.
Can be quickly made, such as in an emergency and quickly closed
with a mass closure technique.
PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
DISADVANTAGES.
• Care needs to be taken just above the umbilicus.
• Midline scar
PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
PARAMEDIAN INCISION.
Use:
Provides laterality to the midline incision, allowing lateral
structures such as the kidney, adrenals and spleen to be
accessed.
Location:
About 2- 5cm to the left or right of the midline incision.
Incision is over the medial aspect of the transverse convexity of
the rectus.
PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
Layers of the abdominal wall
•Skin, fascia and the anterior rectus sheath are incised.
•The anterior rectus muscle is freed from the anterior
sheath and retracted laterally.
•The posterior rectus sheath or transversalis fascia ,
extraperitoneal fat
•and peritoneum are then excised allowing entry to the
abdominal cavity.
PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
Advantages.
• Provides access to lateral structures.
• Rectus muscle is not divided.
• Can be extended by a curvilinear incision towards the xiphoid
process if required
PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
Disadvantages:
• Takes longer to make and close.
• Incision needs to be closed in layers.
• Difficult extension superiorly as limited by the costal margin.
• Tends to strip the muscles of their blood and nerve supply
resulting in atrophy of the muscle medial to the incision

CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
Transverse incision.
Use:
Right or left colon, duodenum, pancreas, sub-hepatic space
Location:

both of the rectus muscles.

Advantages.
•
•
•
•
•

abdominal exposure is gained in comparison with the vertical
midline.
PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
Disadvantages.

•More wound infections compared to midline thought to be
due to greater difficulty in controlling bleeding and
hematoma formation.

CONDITIONS

PREVENTION OF RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS
Consider the effects of anesthesia on respiratory tract.
• Pain causes reflex inhibition of diaphragm and makes respiration
difficult.
• Incision of abdominal muscles – patient tends to avoid due to pain or
fear of pain which hampers respiratory movement.
• Too much analgesics may inhibit the cough reflex and lead to
accumulation of secretion.
10/7/2019
56
PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE IN CARDIO-RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS
LESSON 4: General Surgery
PREVENTION OF RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS
• Breathing exercises with more emphasis on lower costal and
posterior basal areas.
• Breathing should be as deep as possible with emphasis on
expiration to promote secretion clearance and cough reflex.
• Avoid continuous deep breaths as this may result in fainting.
• Coughing and splinting.
• Knee flexion during cough relax the abdominal muscles and
reduces the stretch.
• If secretions are very thick – use airway clearance techniques.
• Chest complications are most likely too occur in 1st 48 hrs – so
treatment should be frequent during this period.
