Status post exploratory laparotomy = Patient had an exploratory laparotomy


Explanation:

I think Po. refers here to Status post. In other words, the patient had an exploratory laparotomy.

It is quite common to translate status post as had or having had, e.g. 50-year-old patient having had exploratory laparotomy....

Status post or S/P refers to a procedure or event, a patient had experienced, underwent, undertook, endured or has sustained prior to the current time. It is most often used to reference past surgeries.

Exploratory laparotomy is surgery to open up the belly area (abdomen). This surgery is done to find the cause of problems (such as belly pain or bleeding) that testing could not diagnose.

  -> Thank you, Robert :-)

neutral  Stuart and Aida Nelson: Would 'post-operative' be a procedure/intervention/surgery after the laparotomy (surgery)? I think the sample sentences refer to the post-operative instructions, not to a post-operative laparotomy.// Sorry Marie see discussion, no space here.

  -> Exactly, I don't know how you can interpret my answer in any other way.
