Just Me asked in HealthWomen's Health · 7 years ago

One of 4 hysterectomy incisions is still open, the other 3 are closed and healing?

I had a da Vinci hysterectomy 11 days ago. There are 4 small incisions in my abdomen which were glued, no stitches. This one is still open and the glue has worn off. There's no odor, discharge or pain but I'm a little worried. (My husband says it just needs some air to close up but idk.) I see the doctor Wednesday so of course I'll let them check it out but wanted some opinions until then. Thanks!

    If it were me, I would just be sure to keep it clean - put a bandage and some antibacterial ointment on it. If it starts showing any signs of infection, give your doctor a call. Other than that, I think it's fine.

    Thanks. Doc checked it this morning and said it looks good. I may have a little divot of a scar but I'll take that over 3 weeks of hell every month.
