Silly question about location of hysterectomy incisions

I know this is probably a question for my doc but I will ask anyway. I am scheduled for a TVH with BSO on September 5th. My doc said he would be using the davinci robot. What are the most probable locations of my incisions?

Re: Silly question about location of hysterectomy incisions

Awww.. you are having it done on my grand daughter's first birthday
Anyway, I had mine done by Robot on 6/10/2014. I have 4 very small incisions. 1 in my belly button one one each side near my hips and one at the hair line. The one on my right side is slightly bigger than the rest. Probably because they took my appendix out as well. I have a pretty deep belly button so I really can't see much of that incision.
Good Luck!!

Re: Silly question about location of hysterectomy incisions

I had my gallbladder removed at the same time so I have an extra incision on the right side (5). I have 1 in the belly button, 1 on the left & right side that is right in line with the waist of my mom jeans & 2 more on the right. They are each about 3 inches higher and each goes inwards about a inch so that the top one is nearly under my breast & middle of my chest.

Re: Silly question about location of hysterectomy incisions

I have 5 - one about 2 inches above my belly button, the two on each side. 2 are almost even with the middle one and the other two are 3 and 9 o'clock. I think some of the decision where they are depends on your doctor and how your belly flattens when you are on the table. Also, the bottom of my fat belly was black and blue which I was not expecting. It was from manipulation probably getting the things stuck in.

I have 4 incisions. 1 in belly button, 1 near right hip, 1 near left hip, and 1 on left between bellybutton and hip. The one on left hip is larger than others.

Re: Silly question about location of hysterectomy incisions

I just had mine done on july 29th 2014. I have 4 incisions. One is on the top of my belly button, one on right hip, one on left hip, and one about 2 or 3 inches above & to the right of my belly button. The one on my right hip bruised the most and is a little more tender. All of my insisions are glued shut with no outside stitches, which i love because no snagging on clothing or bedding. Hope this helped.
