Had laparoscopy for gallstones about six weeks ago but still feel a slight pain in one of the incisions, especially when touched or if my shirt rubs against it. The incision is small, around 0.5x0.3 cm on the right side. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's common to experience some mild pain or tenderness around incision sites after gallbladder surgery, even six weeks post-op. This is likely due to the healing process and the body adjusting to the surgery. However, if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's important to consult a doctor.

I have a 2.5 cm gallstone but no symptoms like pain or gastric issues should I still consider elective surgery or wait it out?
For an asymptomatic 2.5 cm gallstone, the general approach is "watch and wait". Elective surgery is not typically recommended for asymptomatic gallstones. While some individuals with asymptomatic gallstones may eventually experience symptoms and require surgery, the risk of complications from surgery in asymptomatic patients is also a consideration
