Open surgery is a traditional method where a large incision is made in the body to access organs or tissues. This approach allows surgeons to see and work directly on the area that needs treatment, making it suitable for complex procedures. For example, during an appendectomy, the surgeon removes the appendix through a sizable cut in the abdomen. While open surgery can be effective, it often requires a longer recovery time compared to minimally invasive techniques. Patients may experience more pain and scarring due to the larger incision. However, it remains a vital option for many surgical cases where precision and visibility are crucial.
