A member asked:
Abdominoplasty 9 years ago (lots of scar tissue around/in my navel area); need my gallbladder out now. can they do lap, or do i need open surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laparoscopy OK: Abdominoplasty is a soft tissue operation. You will have some scarring in the skin and fat underneath but that should not prevent an attempt at a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However it is important to understand that any attempted laparoscopy may not be successful and still may require an open operation.
