Laparotomy
Definition:
(n.) A cutting through the walls of the abdomen, as in the Caesarean section.
Example Sentences:

(4) Survival and healing of "extremely severe" grade intoxication can only be obtained through a surgical intervention within the first hours; a laparotomy will indicate the depth of the lesions, which is not determined by endoscopy, and will consist of Celerier's stripping method and if necessary a gastrectomy, more seldom a cephalic duodeno-pancreatectomy.

This preliminary study deserves to be followed up.
