lump under my incison by my belly button

Welcome to e health forum.

The chances for complications like incisional hernia, are very less likely, after a laparoscopic procedure, since, most of the abdominal supporting musculature and soft tissues are not cut, as in conventional open abdominal surgeries.

The swelling you feel are probably, signs of inflammation, associated with the slight tissue injury, that is common with laparoscopic surgeries. These changes usually are transient and would subside on their own, and do not need any specific treatments.

Application of ice packs, can help reduce the swelling and the discomfort if any.

In case, you have any doubts, consulting your operating surgeon, will help to provide more clear answers.

I had appendix removed on 18th October 2011, about a week later I then had infection which was very sore. Since then I have had the odd stomach pain and twinge, and if any pressure is applied to my belly button it hurts. So I went to doctors and they said I have incison hernia, I am going to hospital this Thursday to see my surgeon. Hope he will be able to sort it out.

i had my appendix taken out too, and underneath my scar is a lump, it has went down but not it is pointy and very itchy?
