Laparoscopy is a commonly performed procedure to examine the abdominal or pelvic organs. Investigations, and some keyhole surgery procedures, can be performed with laparoscopy where in the past the abdomen would have to be opened in an operation known as a laparotomy. |
I had my gall bladder removed about a 1 1/2 years ago. Not sure if this was the medical terms for the surgery that they performed. But, I do have a scar at my belly button, one right where my bra comes, and two on my side. I was a little sore for a few days but, had no lingering effects. Good Luck and keep us posted. I also had a fibroid removed a little over a year ago but this procedure was not used for that.
