Question 1

i had the nissen fundoplication surgery 6 days ago and have been suffering from phrenic nerve pain. will it get better?

Accepted Answer

Time will tell: Depending on the surg and the swelling in the area of the phrenic nerve, time is the only way you will get an answer.
There is no way to make an prediction.

Question 2

is phrenic nerve irritation after thoracic outlet surgery likely to get better on its own?

Accepted Answer

Most do improve: Unfortunately, phrenic nerve problem occurs with even the best and smoothest of TOS surgeries, and although uncommon, creates some short-term problems.  Have found that many pts improve within 4-6 weeks but others take up to 4-6 months.  Rare in my experience to see no improvement by 6-9 months.  You might enhance your nerve recovery by taking a medical food, such as MetanX twice daily.

Question 3

can surgery for gsstric bypass, peg tube placement or central line damage the phrenic nerve?

Accepted Answer

HIGHLY UNlikely: The phrenic nerve is from above the diaphragm and the procedures your mentioned are all below this level...

Question 4

what cause back pain after laparoscopic surgery?

Accepted Answer

Position during oper: While the patient is on the operating table during the surgery and under anesthesia the back can be in an awkward position and the patient comes out of surgery with back sprain and strain. Due to damaged ligaments.

A proltherapiust  can help resolve the problem.

Question 6

That is : definitely a question for the operating surgeon.  Laparoscopic surgery  describes only the method used to enter the abdomen not what was done.  It could be relative minor or as significant as removal of a kidney, gallbladder or appendix.

Question 9

is it safe for me to travel after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The only risk is missing an injury caused by the operation.  After a few days, most injuries such as injury to bowel, bladder, or blood vessels will have become evident.  If you are doing well several days after surgery, you can travel without worry.

Question 10

i had an infection after laparoscopic surgery. it was treated and went away but it has returned. could this cause further problems?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If this was a skin only infection it will probably not cause any more problems.  If the deep tissue (fascia) was infected it's possible you could end up with a hernia down the line.  If the infection was in the abdomen, abdominal adhesions and small bowel obstruction are a risk, but not guaranteed problem.
