Surgery through belly button

[SignorSteve]

Hi folks,

I saw this article about having surgery for crohns through the belly button in a newspaper the other day and found it quite interesting.

Just wondering if anyone has had this surgery before or has any thoughts on it?

I did not have such a surgery done, but had a laparoscopic rectopexy, where the camera was inserted through my belly button and the cuts were on my lower stomach.

Hi Aya,

How do feel these days now that you've had surgery?

Hello there,

Thank you very much for asking, I feel much better without having my intestine come out every time I use the restroom to have stool.
After my first surgery my stitches were really itchy and sensitive to the climate changes, but since my second one, I only had little cramps, but feel absolutely dandy; though my intestine became infected with a flare couple of days after surgery and have been struggling with it since. However, from force when I have stool, a tiny bit of my intestine started to come out a again once or twice. My doctor suggests I not use any force and do intimate exercises which would help it.
Otherwise I have a scar in my belly button, a long thin line under my stomach from my second procedure, and a couple of snowflake looking ones around my lower tummy from the laparoscopic/first surgery, as a constant reminder of what I had undergone.


kisses, Aya
