Signs You May Need Exploratory Laparotomy
Patients needing this surgery typically present with severe, worsening abdominal pain, a rigid or distended abdomen, signs of shock such as low blood pressure and rapid heart rate, or visible trauma from an accident or injury. Fever with peritonitis-like symptoms following a suspected organ perforation is another common trigger for emergency exploration.
