| | laparotomy |
 | | Laparotomy is often used when the surgeon requires a bigger view of the operating field to correct a problem. | | | The choice of surgical technique may depend on the physician's training or preference and/or the specifics of a particular patient. | | | Sometimes either laparotomy or laparoscopy can be used to correct a condition. |

| | Analgesia was not required postoperatively in 54 percent of the patients in the laparoscopy group, compared with 10 percent of the laparotomy group. | | | Although the laparoscopic approach is less invasive than laparotomy, the decision to perform one procedure or the other should be based on the same clinical criteria. | | | The level of postoperative pain was significantly higher in the laparotomy group in the immediate postoperative period and within the first 24 hours after surgery. |

| | Laparoscopy in Gynecologic Malignancies |
| | Patients who do not undergo immediate conversion to a laparotomy should be referred expeditiously to a gynecologic oncologist so that laparotomy, surgical staging, and the initiation of definitive therapy are not delayed. | | | The purported advantage of the laparoscopic approach is that it provides the same delineation of the extent of disease as is achieved with laparotomy, but with less morbidity and essentially no delay in the initiation of definitive therapy. | | | The objective of minimally invasive surgery is not to replace laparotomy, but rather, to add one more weapon to our cache, one which would be used based on the individual surgeon’s skill and judgement and the patient’s condition. |

| | Laparotomy |
| | The main reason for a laparotomy is to investigate abdominal pain. | | | An alternative to laparotomy is laparoscopy, or 'keyhole surgery'. | | | As with any post-operative recovery, it is important to always consult your doctor. |

| | The laparoscopic approach in gynecologic oncology remains controversial and must be used with the same care (inspecting the entire peritoneal cavity and pelvic structures) as with laparotomy. | | | For years, previous abdominal surgery and intestinal obstruction were regarded as contraindications to laparoscopy because of an increased risk of iatrogenic bowel perforation. | | | The laparoscopic approach in gynecologic oncology remains controversial and must be employed with the same care (ie, inspecting the entire peritoneal cavity and pelvic structures) as with laparotomy. |
