The ventral abdominopelvic cavity would be opened to perform an appendectomy. This procedure is normally performed as an emergency procedure, when the patient is suffering from acute appendicitis.

none, it is done by three tiny incisions in the abdomen and sometimes one through the belly button. Depending on the "issue" but rarely do they "Cut you open" anymore. everything is done by scopes.

The ovaries lie in the pelvis so if it is open surgery the approach will be with an incision in the lower abdominal wall, or Laparoscopically through a small incision above or below the belly button

The lower part of the Abdominal cavity (pelvis) needs to be opened. Alternatively it can also be done Laparscopically ( minimal invasive surgery) but it will depend upon the cause and size of the ovarian lesion.

Most of the time it would be done laparoscopically. So they will put a camera port through your belly button and maybe 2-3 other small incisions in your lower abdomen.
