Appendectomy Scar
Posted: 04-20-05 10:26am

My girlfriend have a scar on the middle lower abdomen, just below the navel and above the pubic area. She told me she had appendectomy when she was 19 years old. But what I know is that appendectomy is being done in the lower right abdomen, in the area of the appendix. Is this possible?

Yes, appendectomy scars will be above the pubic hair, below the belly button, it basically all depends on the surgeon. I have three appendectomy scars, and they are not in the appendix area. One is tright below the belly button, the other is right above the pubic hairline in the middle and the last one is over to the left of the bellybutton/pubic hair in th emiddle. So it all depends on the surgeon. Hope that helps?
