A member asked:

What causes a raised, red rash after laparoscopic cholecystectomy?

Dr. Peter Lydon answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Depends: It depends where it is located. If it is near the incisions, it could be related to the surgical dressings used. If it is across the abdomen, it could be the surgical prep.
