Abdominal swelling?
I’m having the TEP approach. Does that sound right? I do have a bikini scar from a previous emergency laparotomy that the doctor informed me if he couldn’t get through because of scarring there then he would not be able to do it laporoscopically and would convert to open surgery. I guess he’s being cautious and covering all grounds given my previous history of things going wrong. I also told him about my bladder injury during hysterectomy when they had to separate my bladder from my uterus leaving a hole in my bladder that needed to be repaired. I had to wear a Foley catheter for 2 weeks to allow the surgical site to heal! at least he is now aware there might be some adhesions there also.
I’m sure he’ll be able to get through and everything will be fine.
Just wanted to make sure the initial TEP approach is the way to go.
