I had fistula surgery about a year ago but there's still pus coming out from the area when I walk why hasn't it healed completely yet

It's understandable to be concerned about ongoing pus discharge after a fistula surgery, even a year later. Several factors can contribute to incomplete healing, and it's important to address them with your doctor. A significant amount of pus after a year suggests a persistent infection or incomplete resolution of the fistula

I have an 11mm supra umbilical hernia and my doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery but I'm confused because it still involves a 15mm incision for the port. Wouldn't open surgery be a better option since the incision size is almost the same? Is my thinking correct medically?

While a 15mm incision for the laparoscopic port might seem comparable to an open surgery, laparoscopic surgery still offers advantages like reduced pain, faster recovery, and potentially lower complication rates. The laparoscopic approach uses multiple small incisions, not just one larger one, and the surgical view provided by the laparoscope can offer precision and potentially less manipulation of surrounding tissues.
