Open abdominal aneurysm repair is a traditional surgical procedure used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms, a condition where the aorta in the abdomen becomes weakened and enlarged. The surgery involves making an incision in the abdomen to access the aneurysm, removing the damaged portion of the aorta, and replacing it with a synthetic graft to restore normal blood flow.

This procedure is essential for preventing aortic rupture, a potentially fatal complication, and restoring proper circulation to the lower body.
