(Emergency) Laparotomy
(Emergency) Laparotomy
The curriculum skirts around mentioning emergency laparotomy explicitly, instead euphemistically asking for knowledge on 'intra-abdominal major general surgery procedures'.
One is also supposed to understand 'the importance of the timing of non-elective surgery'.
