Question:
Scar tissue preventing procedure

I had my gallbladder out lap and I have some scar tissue and an umbilical hernia. At the info meeting,they told me they would fix the hernia during the procedure if I got approved, but I forgot to mention the scar tissue. Would they have to do an open procedure and not lap due to this??    — Aydenzmoma (posted on October 15, 2011)

No, they can remove scar tissue during lap. I had Rou n y surgery 6 years ago and just had a pederson's hernia repaired just 2 days ago and they also removed a lot of scar tissue while in laproscopically. I came home the same day. I too had my gall bladder out in 2002 and that is where most of my scar tissue was. My surgeon is very skilled at what he does. Hope this helps!
