Explanation:

In gastrointestinal surgery, there is a risk of the primary surgical pack getting contaminated by intestinal contents. Having extra packs or instruments is a precaution for such contamination. Surgical instruments getting slippery due to GI - content is not the main reason for having extra packs. Extension of the incision is not the primary reason for having two packs. Most surgical instruments are sterilized and reused, not used only once.

Answer:

in case the primary pack is contaminated with intestinal contents during the procedure.
