Infection After Lap
by mrsomes, Jul 05, 2006 12:00AM
Had Laproscopic surgery 6 weeks ago. Was healing fine but over this weekend the larger of the incisions started to hurt. It's now tender, a little red and there is some slight infection. I've been cleaning it and using polysporin. Is this normal?

I can only suggest that you go back to your doctor to have this checked out. I don't think any incision infection is normal. They can better assess your situation and put you on the right antibiotic if need be. I have always assumed afterward that there is some tenderness with the incisions but not visible infection or pain.
