Subjected, cut-open

Hi, is "Subjected" here is "forced"?
What is "cut-open"? Tried to look on the dictonary but didn't find a meaning ...
I think that "quadruple bypass is kind of a surgery although the word "surgery doesn't appear here?

Thanks ...

"On September 6, he was subjected to a quadruple bypass, his breastbone cut open,
chest pulled apart, heart stopped for seventy-three minutes."
