OPEN SURGERY

Medova

Some problems need a clear view and a firm hand. Open surgery uses one planned incision to let the surgeon see and feel exactly what’s going on. That direct access matters in tricky anatomy, old scar tissue, big hernia gaps, active infection, or emergencies where every minute and every millimeter counts. It can mean a few more days of recovery than keyhole methods, but for the right case it delivers a thorough repair and a result built to last—under the care of Dr. Asif Umar.

When a larger incision is the safer choice

  • In a crisis situation - perforated bowel, or uncontrolled bleeding following blunt trauma—open surgery gets the team in fast, restores blood flow or control, and prevents further damage.

Recovery and how to prepare

  • Most patients stay in the hospital for close monitoring, pain control, lung exercises, and early walking. Getting out of bed on day one reduces clot and chest complications.
  • You’ll go home with simple wound care steps, a plan for pain medicines, and activity targets.
  • Follow up with Dr. asif is booked before discharge to check the incision, review any lab or biopsy results, and clear you for driving, work, and gym at the right time.

Safety first

Every open surgery carries risks—bleeding, infection, & clots. An open incision can feel more tender and leaves a longer scar than laparoscopy. Those risks are managed with careful planning, sterile technique, antibiotics when indicated, blood clot prevention, and clear instructions you can actually follow at home. The goal is simple: fix the problem and get you back to your life with confidence.

Getting ready

Good preparation pays off. Eat for healing, keep blood sugars controlled if diabetic, and pause nicotine to help wounds close. Keep moving—short walks and breathing exercises build reserves before surgery. Afterward, stick to the plan, show up for follow up, and call if anything doesn’t look or feel right.
