Where is the biggest cut in gall bladder surgery?
Question:
Answers:
My biggest one was right on the button. Strangely enough, it's not painful. When I woke up I was upset that they cut my navel, but other than getting a little krusty, there was little pain.
A year later you won't notice it,regardless.
not sure for men but i was just reading about a new procedure for women where they can have their gall bladders removed through the vaginal opening so no outside incisions are made.
My mom has it done. . .there were 3 cuts. . .one in the navel and 2 on the side where the instruments went in. She said that is was relatively painless, more uncomfort.
The second surgeon is correct. I had the surgery done about 4 years ago and the only scar I have is right below and to the right of my sternum and is about an inch long and very faint. Surgery was outpatient and I was home that night and almost completely back to normal within 48 hours.
Not a lot of pain but definitely uncomfortable; after all, they have to lift up your liver to get to your gall bladder!
I had 4 small cuts, one in naval, 3 across my middle. I still have a scar from 1 of the 3 but my naval is deep cause I am a bit fluffy so that is the one I had the most trouble with. I only took one pain pill and that was for the ride home. After that if I got a little achey I took Tylenol.
