    Area of Science:

    • Surgical procedures
    • Gastrointestinal surgery
    • Diagnostic surgery

    Context:

    • Retrospective analysis of 10-year surgical data.
    • Focus on explorative laparotomy outcomes.
    • Evaluation of diagnostic yield and patient impact.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the efficacy and outcomes of explorative laparotomy.
    • To analyze findings in patients with negative surgical exploration.
    • To determine the impact on patient pain and mortality.

    Summary:

    • Explorative laparotomy was performed in 9.3% of cases over 10 years.
    • 207 patients with negative findings were analyzed.
    • Post-exploration, 41% reported cessation of pain, and 30% reported improvement.
    • A direct mortality rate of 0.51% was observed.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the diagnostic value of explorative laparotomy.
    • Provides data on long-term pain management post-procedure.
    • Contributes to understanding the risk-benefit profile of diagnostic surgery.
