I'm very sorry the link I left isn't helpful.
I actually don't usually post here. I saw your worried msg and responded the best I could after your second post and saw you were online but had received no responses.
In the section on "complications" it mentions why there may be need for extra incisions. I was trying to point out that sometimes with these minimally invasive surgeries of any kind, there may be a need to make an extra incision. As I said earlier my daughter was only supposed to have a certain number of incisions with her kidney removal, but ended up with more.
I was not aware until you just posted that the incision is in fact 2 inches long, which is a long incision and not typical.
For a Surgeon assistant to respond to your query about the extra incision by saying
Quote:
the third incision is for Dr. _____ thumb placement this way your bowel movements remain intact without being touch
|
is unprofessional and doesn't make sense. Bowel movements?
Anyway,
I hope someone will see your posts that has similar surgery and can offer you more help.
All the best to you with your recovery.
