How Many Incisions
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

How many incisions did you guys have with laroscopy. I'm kinda surprised that I woke up with 3. Is this normal or did they do something else, I know they discussed cystoscopy

Yep, it's down to the type of adhesive in the dressings, I had the same issue. My sister too! My belly button has a round 'halo' of scaring. Get adhesive dressing and plaster allergy added to your record. You have enough to worry about without burning and itching wounds. x ♡R

That is normal. Everyone is different I had five incisions: one at my belly button, two on left mid and lower abdomen, and two on the right mid and lower abdomen. Hope you have a smooth recovery. 🙂

My first was three, bellybutton and each side, my second was 4. Each side, belly button and below the belly. Three sounds about right for access either side and your belly incision for scope, gas etc. Hope you heal up quickly. Sounds like you're bouncing back from the general quickly!
