A member asked:
Need abdominal surgery. does a history of a laparoscopic surgery converted to open abdominal make me at higher risk & inability to do laparoscopic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On the kind of open abdominal surgery you had before, the surgeon would decide whether to go for a laparascopic or open surgery. This is rather a very technical question cannot be answered with precisiin with this limited history / online, wish yiu well
