A member asked:

How long does it take for a gallbladder incision to heal and close completely? friend had surgery dec. 2013 and incision hasn't closed completely yet.

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Corey Clay answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Few weeks: There is a reason your friend hasn't yet healed and it may be due to infection, metabolic disease such as diabetes, or others. Needs to be examined earlier than later.
