I got 3 incisions during what I was originally told would have been a SILS operation (Single Incision Laparascopic Surgery). The doctor said my liver was a little enlarged and they needed the additional incision to insert a trocar to hold it up better than would have been through the single incision. So far of the three incisions, 2 of them have healed properly. The glue stayed on them nice and long and allowed for a proper closure. But One of the incisions (non port) is NOT healing well. The glue fell off of it early so it didn't get a chance to really "close". I told the doctor (Physician Assistant) about it and she advised me to clean it out with hydrogen peroxide and put neosporin on it. But here we are 3 full weeks post op and I have an unhealed crater on my abdomen. Needless to say I'm concerned about it healing and i'm totally disappointed because it's going to leave a serious mark. :-(

Anyone else have a similar experience? What were you able to do about it if anything?

I'm in the same situation. I was supposed to have 1 and actually ended up with 5 because of the hiatal hernia repair. The PA took off two of my sterile strips on my check up date and the incisions were opened before I even made it to my car. They told me not to put neosporin or peroxide on it because it kills the good bacteria that will help it heal. I just gently wash it in the shower with soap and water and they seem to be doing better and have scabbed up again.

My larger sutures (two of five) took longer to heal and didn't look as nice as the others for a few months. One was for the port and the other was for where I assume they inserted the band.
