Open Tubal Ligation is a surgical procedure designed to permanently prevent pregnancy by blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes. It works by closing the fallopian tubes so that sperm cannot reach an egg for fertilization. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making an incision in the abdomen to access the fallopian tubes directly.

Open thoracotomy is a surgical procedure that involves making a large incision in the chest wall to access the thoracic cavity. This approach allows surgeons to visualize and operate on the organs within the chest, including the lungs, heart, and major blood vessels. The primary purpose of an open thoracotomy is to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting these vital structures.

Open splenectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the complete removal of the spleen, an organ located in the upper left side of the abdomen. The spleen plays a crucial role in the body’s immune system by filtering blood and helping to fight infections. It also helps in the recycling of iron from red blood cells. However, certain medical conditions can necessitate the removal of the spleen to improve a patient’s health or prevent further complications.

Open Skull Base Surgery is a specialized surgical procedure designed to access the base of the skull, which is the area where the skull meets the spine and houses critical structures such as the brain, cranial nerves, and major blood vessels. This type of surgery is typically performed by a neurosurgeon or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) and is often necessary for treating various conditions that affect the skull base.

Open sacrocolpopexy is a surgical procedure designed to treat pelvic organ prolapse, particularly in women. Pelvic organ prolapse happens when organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum slip down from their usual position because the muscles and tissues supporting them become weak. The procedure involves attaching the vaginal apex (the top part of the vagina) to the sacrum, which is the triangular bone at the base of the spine, using a mesh or graft. This support helps restore the normal anatomy and function of the pelvic organs; alleviating symptoms associated with prolapse.

Open Pyeloplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct a condition known as ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. This obstruction occurs where the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, meets the renal pelvis, the area of the kidney that collects urine. When this junction is blocked, it can lead to a buildup of urine in the kidney, causing swelling, pain, and potential kidney damage. The primary goal of Open Pyeloplasty is to relieve this obstruction, restore normal urine flow, and prevent further complications.

Open Mitral Valve Replacement/Repair is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing issues with the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the heart. The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle, playing a crucial role in ensuring that blood flows in the correct direction through the heart. When this valve becomes damaged or diseased, it can lead to serious problems, including heart failure, arrhythmias, and other complications.

Open Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus. This condition can lead to significant discomfort, pain, and complications if not treated. This procedure is typically performed under general or regional anesthesia, allowing the patient to remain comfortable throughout the operation.

Open fracture surgery is a specialized surgical procedure designed to treat open fractures, which are breaks in the bone that result in the bone protruding through the skin. This type of fracture is often accompanied by significant soft tissue injury, making it more complex and serious than a closed fracture, where the bone remains beneath the skin. The primary purpose of open fracture surgery is to realign the broken bone fragments, stabilize the fracture, and promote healing while minimizing the risk of infection.

Open Aortic Valve Replacement (OAVR) is a surgical procedure designed to replace a malfunctioning aortic valve in the heart. The aortic valve is one of the four main valves in the heart, responsible for regulating blood flow from the heart's left ventricle into the aorta, the body's main artery. When this valve becomes narrowed (a condition known as aortic stenosis) or fails to close properly (a condition known as aortic regurgitation), if untreated, these conditions can lead to serious complications, including heart failure and life-threatening events.
