I have a bulge upper stomach after open biopsy and small bowel resection with anstomosis what can i do i did not have this before all this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With a prominent upper abdominal "bulge" in the area of the surgical incision, a hernia may have occurred due to separation of the fascia during the post-operative healing phase. See the surgeon who performed the operation for an exam.
