For sure. 2020 was a rough year for me: I had a routine appendectomy during which the surgeon accidentally punctured my intestine with a suture while closing up the laparoscopic portholes. Sent me home that way. And as you might expect, I came back with a lot of abdominal pain. They had to open up my abdomen with a big 6” vertical incision this time in order to fix and clean everything.
As for the huge incision, they just put in around 8 staples. That was it. They intentionally wanted it to allow inflammation-base fluid build-up to escape. Super gross. But, nothing gross actually happened, and it healed up in less than a week. Definitely left a bad scar though.
