For me on my second most recent one the drs went by them. I now have two on belly button two abov my c section scar and one kind of the side. From experience they do incisions by the other incision sites.

A laparotomy has more chances of getting scar tissues and adhesions. I had 1 laparotomy and 1 laparoscopy and on my 3rd surgery which was supposed to be laparoscopy, they proceeded on cutting me open as my abdomen was filled with scar tissues; adhesions and endometriosis. I got weakened by these procedures along with my immune system. I get sick so easily especially when I work hard or do more activities. I seem to have a problem with controlling my activities when I feel great and the next day I can not get up. I have now to listen and adjust to my "new body".
It will probably be the same for multiple laparoscopies.

I had a total of 5 laparoscopy and I have 5 different entry points. I was told it depends on the scar tissue and where they need to remove tissue. I’m no doctor. Good luck to you
