The first is a persistent residual neuralgia - or pain - around the scar. It can be either localized or general. It may develop soon after surgery - or even weeks or months later. Usually it will decrease in intensity with time. But in very rare situations it can become permanent. More frequently patients report achiness in the shoulders and chest. This is caused by the body's reaction to the carbon dioxide used to inflate the abdomen and it will clear up in a matter of a few days. A more serious complication comes from accidentally damaging the bile duct; but these are very rare occurrences. Finally, as mentioned earlier, the surgical team may decide to end the laparoscopic procedure and convert to open surgery. Patient Education Once you return home, you will be responsible to keeping the dressing intact and clean. As with all surgery, you should be alert for signs of infection near the incision - increased swelling, redness, bleeding or other discharge. Your doctor may advise you to be on the alert for other symptoms as well. If you experience any unusual symptoms, report them to your doctor right away. Patient Education You may also notice some bruising in the general area of the incision. The discoloration may be extensive - but as with any bruise, it should heal on it's own. Before you leave, you'll be given discharge guidelines which may include diet, medication, work and other activity restrictions. You'll also make at least one follow-up appointment so that the doctor will be able to check the healing of the incision and/or to remove sutures.
