How long does it take to have a laparotomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends indication?: Laparotomy means incision in the abdomen. If it is just to look for a problem, like if someone was stabbed, once you have looked if everything is ok you can close in less than 20 minutes. Some complicated surgeries last more than 20 hours.
