Laparotomy surgery for endometriosis, also known as exploratory laparotomy, is a major surgery as it involves anesthesia and a big cut in the belly. This condition comes in case of severe endometriosis as it cannot be treated through a simple laparoscopy. Risks involving the surgery are bleeding, infection, reaction to anesthesia, and poor healing at the incision. Other risks include damage to other abdominal organs during the process and a hernia at the incision site.
